A clinical psychologist is assessing two individuals:

  • Jacob, who experiences severe anxiety that prevents him from leaving his home, meaning he is unable to maintain employment or feed himself independently.
  • Maya, who has an exceptionally rare psychological trait where she experiences synesthesia (tasting words), a condition occurring in fewer than 0.1% of the population, though she leads a highly successful and fulfilling life.

With reference to Jacob and Maya, describe both the statistical infrequency and failure to function adequately definitions of abnormality.
