Question

For the past month Lawrence seems to have lost interest in most of his normal activities. He feels irritable, and he has had difficulty sleeping. He also finds that he has difficulty making decisions. Lawrence's symptoms are most consistent with those seen in__________.
a. bipolar disorder
b. major depressive disorder
c. generalized anxiety disorder
d. disorganized schizophrenia

Answer 1

Answer:

c. generalized anxiety disorder  

Explanation:

Obviously Lawrence is NOT going through a bipolar disorder because there's nothing to suggest he is hyperactive sometimes rather he is irritable and unable to concentrate and make decisions which are typical symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. It could not also have been a major depressive disorder because there is no suggestion of suicidal inclination. Generalized anxiety disorder has to do with worry over everyday normal activities and inability to concentrate.
