b)maladaptive behavior and personal distress

Explanation: Psychological syndrome or disorder are usually spotted or characterized by how an individual cognitive behaviour has been altered and how they regulate their emotions (personal distress) and how the individual's behavior has become psychological dysfunctional or their development has become dysfunctional (maladaptive).

Psychological disorders are also driven or triggered by a significant amount of distress in a person's social life or occupational life.

maladaptive behavior and personal distress

Explanation:

Psychologists are of the opinion that maladaptive behavior is abnormal. It is that type of behavior being exhibited by an individual that would likely cause harm to him or her or to someone else. Example of this is when you punch someone in the face or cut yourself open.

Personal distress could be another form of maladaptive behavior, exhibited, when the individual is experiencing a certain degree of difficulty. An example is when you act in a way that is bad at work, that could get the person either suspended or fired.
