30-year-old Armand feels compelled to save objects that others might throw away. He is afraid that he will discard something he will need later, so his home is filled with old junk. Armand's neighbors have complained and he feels embarrassed. Which criteria that define abnormality are applicable in this case?

Answer:

Armand's behavior deviates from the norm and is distressing for him.

Step-by-step explanation:

A behaviour is considered abnormal when it is atypical such that it deviates and is oddly different from what is acceptable in a culture.

Armand's behaviour isn't normal as holding up objects that should be thrown away isn't a common phenomenon among most people(people considered normal).
