Question

Randy experienced a horrific childhood. She was physically and verbally abused by her mother and sexually abused by a stepfather. Years later, she began experiencing symptoms of anxiety. A diagnosis of ________ would best apply to her situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is post traumatic stress disorder.

Explanation:

Post-traumatic stress disorder occurs after any mental, emotional, or physical shock or accident. In this condition, the mental and emotional stress becomes persistent because the person is not able to recover efficiently from the shock of the previous bad incidents that occurred in his/her life. So that person feels anxiety after remembering the incident.

So here randy is not able to recover from its horrific childhood in which she was abused physically, verbally, and sexually which results into symptoms of anxiety in her. So here post-traumatic stress disorder would best apply to her situation.
