Question

Jerry allows others to take over and run his life. He is submissive and clings to those around him. He cannot make decisions without advice and reassurance from others, probably because he lacks self-confidence. He finds it impossible to do things on his own, and he feels uncomfortable and helpless when he is alone. Which of the following diagnoses accounts for Jerryâs personality?
A. avoidant personality disorder

B. borderline personality disorder

C. dependent personality disorder

D. narcissistic personality disorder

Answer 1

Answer:

C. dependent personality disorder

Explanation:

Given Jerry's psychology, he seems nervous to be alone, must always be around someone else, and cannot make decisions independently. Therefore, I would say (with the exception of some small details that would be required were this a real-life case) that Jerry likely has dependent personality disorder since he meets all of the clinical criteria for it.

Check out what all of the other disorders are characterized by. They come nowhere near this scenario.
