THAT is a good question. Well, it would certainly depend on how abnormal the deviation is. I have many small things, but one of them is OCD. I clean obsessively and line things up evenly. Another is PTSD, and I tend to get very antsy around drunk people and sometimes become nervous in large crowds. BUT every strange whim or fancy isn't a disorder of some kind. People can just simply be weird. I'm that, too :). You have to decide how severe the "deviation from normal" is. IF anyone, including the person in question, is being hurt by it, if it is disruptive to your life, or if you feel that it isn't far from that point, you (they) should seek counseling. However, if it is just weird, let it be. Weird can be interesting and fun.

In addition, there is evidence that mood disorders are the result of an abnormality in brain chemistry that produces the psychological effect. People with mood disorders are different in the way their brains handle the absorption of the neurotransmitters which effect mood. There is also a lot of evidence that there is a genetic component to all of this, as mood disorders (especially bipolar disorder) does tend to run in families from generation to generation. So, yes. Your answer is Yes.
