The most likely diagnosis  Phencyclidine intoxication

Reason :

Some of the hallmarks of a substance-induced problem are the presence of aggressive behavior involving fighting, vertical or horizontal nystagmus, agitation, impaired judgment, and impaired social or occupational functioning. Hallucinations may be present, but they are not always; if hallucinations are present, the patient usually knows that they are substance-induced. In this case, the patient did not report a feeling of paranoia. There is no basis for a diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder, and there is no evidence of psychosis. A careful history should include an inquiry regarding any substances used.

What is Psychotic disorder ?

Drug-induced psychosis, also known as substance-induced psychotic disorder, is simply any psychotic episode that is related to the abuse of an intoxicant. This can occur from taking too much of a certain drug, having an adverse reaction after mixing substances, during withdrawal from a drug, or if the individual has underlying mental health issues.

Antisocial personality disorder :

Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others. The diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder is not given to individuals under the age of 18 but is given only if there is a history of some symptoms of conduct disorder before age 15.

Brief Psychotic Disorder has a sudden onset of at least one psychotic symptom ( delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior). The psychotic symptoms last less than 1 month and are followed by a full recovery.

Schizophrenia :

Schizophrenia is characterized by some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and extremely disordered thinking and behavior that impairs daily functioning, and can be disabling.

The correct answer is phencyclidine intoxication.

ycow [4]

The answer is  B. Literacy rates are increasing in the region, and the gap between men and women is decreasing. Annual regional-level literacy estimates based on national data and the Unesco  Institute  for Statistics projections from 1990 to 2016  tell us that Eastern and South-Eastern Asia, Southern Asia, and Northern Africa and Western Asia have made the greatest progress in improving adult literacy over the past 26 years .

According to the Fact Sheet No. 45 dated  September 2017 of the Unesco  Institute  for Statistics, Northern Africa and Western Asia literacy rate went from 64% to 81. The youth literacy rate increased in Northern Africa and Western Asia from 80% to 90% and sub-Saharan Africa  from 65% to 75%. Female literacy rates-lower than male literacy rates at the start of the period - generally grew faster than male literacy rates between 1990 and 2016.Thus, the gap between men and women has decreased  in all regions over the past 26 years.
