Abnormal Behavior

Abnormality (or dysfunctional behavior), in the vivid sense of something deviating from the normal or differing from the typical (such as an aberration), is a subjectively defined behavioral characteristic, assigned to those with rare or dysfunctional conditions.

Abnormal Behavior includes any activity judged to be outside the normal behavior pattern for animals of that particular class and age, including thevices, the fixed patterns of abnormality.
