Question

Melanie has become increasingly preoccupied with worry about all kinds of things, ranging from whether she left her oven on to terrorism to how it might look if she trips in the grocery store, the last of which eventually causes her to avoid all stores in general. she tends to engage in a variety of behaviors that she describes as “superstitious,” including making sure she always locks her door exactly five times when she leaves her house. she also has trouble sleeping and concentrating and is very irritable. what type of disorder best identifies melanie's symptoms?

Answer 1

Both paranoia and obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD) are the possible disorders that Melanie might have. Paranoia int terms of how she pictures everyday scenarios in her reality that are not really happening (i.e. how she might trip going to the grocery store, or leaving the oven on because something might happen); OCD in terms of creating a habit of locking her door five times just to secure herself from the fears she is feeling/thinking.

Answer 2

Ocd basically because she is allways woring or maybe ever an anxiety attack
