Identify what is meant by comorbidity, cohort effects, and factors associated with seeking treatment

What will be an ideal response?

Student responses should include

- resilience refers to the ability to withstand and rise above extreme adversity and may protect people from developing mental disorder
- comorbidity refers to the presence of two or more disorders in a person and is related to greater severity of mental disorder
- most mental disorders first appear in adolescence or early adulthood
- cohort effects refer to significant differences in expression of mental disorder depending on demographic features such as age and gender
- many people eventually seek treatment for a mental disorder but delay treatment for several years
- the cost of mental health care is prohibited because mental disorders are the leading cause of disability worldwide
