Why are thoughts, feelings, or behaviors that are merely atypical or unusual not necessarily indicative of a psychological disorder? Think of an example to share here, and explain what would need to be happening in order for this thought/feeling/behavior to officially be a disorder.

The mere fact that something is atypical or odd does not imply that it is disordered. A person may have atypical interior experiences or display unusual behaviors, but she is not labeled disordered if these sensations or behaviors are not distressing, disturbing, or suggest a dysfunction. A classmate, for example, may stay up all night studying before examinations; while unusual, this behavior is unlikely to meet any of the other criteria for psychological condition outlined above.

there are treatment options for depression (mdd) that may work for you. one way of treating depression may be to affect the levels of certain chemicals that brain cells use to communicate, called neurotransmitters. scientists believe that certain neurotransmitters may be out of balance in depression.

although the exact way depression medications shown to ease overall depression symptoms in some people work is unknown, scientists think that some medications work by affecting the levels of a neurotransmitter called serotonin in the brain. other treatments work by affecting the levels of other neurotransmitters like norepinephrine or dopamine.
