discrimination or social control

• P- one limitation of failure to function doesn't always indicate the psychological abnormality
• E- for example, someone who loses their job will not be able to get up and work and earn money for their families
• E- this may be cause them personal distress which is very common in certain situations, and nearly all individuals suffer at some point in their lives, but it doesn't indicate an abnormality
• L- this is a limitation as environmental factors may cause a failure to function rather than any psychological abnormality and this therefore questions the validity of using this definition to identify abnormality
