Answer:

(A) obsessive compulsive disorder

Explanation:

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is <em>a mental illness that is characterized by the compulsion to perform certain tasks in a certain way and/or the preoccupation with certain thoughts uncontrollably.</em> The latter is the obsessive component of OCD.

The classic OCD depiction is shown in the question, with a person obsessed with cleanliness and thus have a compulsion to wash his hands after meeting strangers to ensure that he is continously clean.

Though many of us might have certain characteristics that look 'OCD-like', <u>a diagnosis can only be made when the behavior is causing distress and/or inability to function on a day-to-day basis. </u>

kow [346]

Answer:

En 1733, Peter Stephens se estableció en el lugar cerca de "The Point" (área donde se unen los ríos Potomac y Shenandoah), y creó un ferry desde Virginia (ahora Virginia occidental) hasta Maryland a través del Potomac. Catorce años después (1747), mientras viajaba de Maryland a Virginia, Robert Harper pasó por el área que se llamaba "The Hole" (la brecha entre montañas en el curso del río Potomac) y reconoció el potencial industrial del sitio a causa de la potencia hidráulica que podían generar los dos ríos y el tráfico que se podía transportar a través del río Potomac. Harper pagó a Stephens 30 guineas por los derechos de residencia de Stephens, ya que la tierra en realidad pertenecía a Lord Fairfax.
