Which of the following is TRUE about panic disorders? a. An intense anxiety reaction that comes abruptly b. Disproportionate fear and avoidance of social situations c. Symptoms last at least six months d. Those diagnosed with panic disorder always develop agoraphobia Explanation: Panic attacks are unexpected and recurrent; consistent worry about having more panic attacks. It is an intense anxiety that comes suddenly.10%-65% of people with Panic Disorder are also diagnosed with a depressive disorder, not agoraphobia. 2. Which of the following is NOT true about agoraphobia? a. Females are twice as likely to receive a diagnosis as males b. Disproportionate fear and avoidance of open spaces like parking lots c. Agoraphobia is the same as panic disorder d. DSM-5 states that symptoms should last at least six months for diagnosis Explanation: Agoraphobia symptoms include fearing and avoiding situations or places where one may have an intense fear reaction and won't be able to escape. The ICD-10 includes two versions of agoraphobia: with panic disorder and without. The DSM-5 also diagnoses Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia separately. 3. Reason(s) why women tend to be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder more than men: a. Studies show that women are more burdened by anxiety b. Due to genetic, neurochemical, and hormonal differences c. Women tend to face social disadvantages that men are less likely to face d. All of the above Explanation: Women have more doctor visits and missed days at work than men. Trauma, physical and sexual abuse are more reasons why women are at greater risk of experiencing anxiety. Feminist critics say that women are too easily prescribed drugs. 4. Which of the following is NOT true about antidepressants? a. It can cause impaired sexual performance b. It can affect weight gain c. It can cause nausea d. It can reduce suicidal behavior, especially among young people Explanation: Antidepressants are the drug of choice for anxiety. Withdrawal-like symptoms when the person stops taking them. 5. From the sociocultural perspective, it is considered that... a. Cultural background has no influence on how people exhibit anxiety b. Cultural difference does not affect the symptoms of anxiety disorders c. Social anxiety is less prevalent in Asian countries compared to the U.S. d. The anxiety of lower SES individuals increases slowly with age Explanation: Research shows that cultural background does influence how people exhibit anxiety. Symptoms vary by culture for Panic Attacks. E.g., Arab populations have more fear of death, while Asian cultures experience more dizziness. Social anxiety is less prevalent in Asian countries than U.S. and Russia. Research also shows that anxiety appears to decrease with age, though depression appears to increase. 6. All of the following are experiences commonly associated with Dissociation EXCEPT: a. Depersonalization b. Amnesia c. Derealization d. Nightmares Explanation: There are two types: Derealization, which is where the world seems unreal and altered. And Depersonalization, where the self feels unreal and disconnected from one self's emotions. There can be amnesia, which causes memory gaps. 7. Which of the following(s) most accurately explains the role of culture (cross-cultural perspectives) in grief? a. Grief is not a disorder in some cultures; it’s a lifelong process b. Evolving understanding of grief reflects how ideas of abnormality shifted c. Grief doesn’t appear especially adaptive because it decreases fitness d. Although some facets of grief are universal, culture affects the experience Explanation: Even though some aspects of grief may be universal, culture and context influence the experience. In other words, the context in which the loss and subsequent mourning behaviors occur will impact the type and amount of grief processing engaged in by bereaved individuals. It is important for mental health practitioners to be aware of cultural differences in bereavement patterns so that they don’t improperly pathologize people from other backgrounds whose ways of grieving differ from their own. 8. Which of the following is NOT considered a cause of trauma? a. Childhood physical abuse b. Serious injury from car accident c. Earing an F on an exam due to lack of studying d. Narrowly escaped from a tsunami but lost friends in the disaster Explanation: The DSM-5 defines a trauma as involving exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence. Earning an F on an exam due to lack of studying does not qualify. Events that do qualify include things like a natural or man-made disaster, combat, serious accident, witnessing the violent death of others, or being the victim of torture, terrorism, rape, or other crime. Less disruptive events may be upsetting and cause for concern but don’t fit the clinical definition of trauma. 9. Reason(s) why a five-stage theory of grief developed by Kubler-Ross has been criticized is because a. It’s too simple b. It’s overlooking cultural differences c. It’s assuming that grief has finite a finite end point d. All of the above Explanation: Despite the widespread popularity of the five-stage theory of grief, it has been criticized for being too simplistic, overlooking cultural differences, and assuming that grief has a finite endpoint. Many argue that grieving is best viewed as a lifelong process. Other critiques of Ross’s theory include assuming people neatly move from one stage to the next in an orderly fashion and lacking research support.  10. Which of the following is a part of the limbic system and is active in acute and posttraumatic stress? a. Thalamus b. Cerebellum c. Amygdala d. None of the above Explanation: The amygdala, which is involved in emotional memory, is often very active in acute and posttraumatic stress, similar to depression. It is important to review the different structures of the brain involved in the disorders of each chapter. 11. Which of the following personality factors is associated with a poor response to posttraumatic stress? a. negative emotionality b. agreeableness c. conscientiousness d. all of the above Explanation: Negative emotionality (NEM) is characterized as the tendency for an individual to experience negative emotions such as anger, anxiety, and/or depression. Individuals with PTSD and negative emotionality may have increased difficulty processing posttraumatic stress. Additional psychological predictors of PTSD are being interpersonally cold and domineering. 12. When the dissociative compartmentalization of experience is extreme, _____ may occur, which is ______. a. Identity confusion; when a person establishes a new identity in lieu of an old one b. Identity alteration; when a person is confused about recalling identity c. Identity confusion; when a person is confused about recalling identity d. None of the above Explanation: Identity confusion occurs when a person is confused about and/or has a hard time recalling their identity. Identity alteration occurs when a person establishes a new identity in lieu of the old one. Identity confusion and alteration are less common aspects of dissociation, but depersonalization, derealization, and amnesia are common. 13. A 32-year-old woman who is getting divorced experienced a seizure twice in one month. After a thorough medical investigation and an EEG of her brain, no medical problems have been reported. This is an example of which type of syndrome: a. Psychosomatic b. Somatic complaint c. Somatization d. More examination is needed. Explanation: Somatization refers to the process of expressing psychological problems in physical terms. Symptoms are medically unexplained- they are viewed as excessive and/or suspected of being physical representations of underlying emotional conflicts. As for the other two options, a somatic complaint involves experiencing or worrying about physical symptoms, such as having a stomachache, feeling pain in one’s chest, and spells of dizziness. A complaint is psychosomatic when prolonged psychological stress results in or exacerbates a real medical condition. In the case of this 32-year-old woman, no medical problems were reported after the investigation and EEG, but the clue of her getting divorced also leads us to choose somatization being an emotional conflict.  14. A teenage boy whose mom got shot when they were shopping does not recall this incident. However, he can recall details from the rest of that day. This is an example of a. Dissociative fugue b. Dissociative amnesia c. Depersonalization d. Dissociative identity disorder Explanation: Dissociative amnesia involves having difficulty recalling important autobiographical information, which refers to the memory of personal events. The information that can’t be remembered is usually of a traumatic nature and isn’t attributable to simple forgetting. In the case of the hypothetical teenage boy, he has difficulty recalling the event of his mom getting shot. Others diagnosed with dissociative amnesia, such as a sexual assault survivor, may block the memory of the experience or only have pieces of the memory. If the teenage boy had left home, traveled to a new location, and/or established a new identity, this would have been dissociative fugue. Importantly, the DSM-5 and ICD-11 use the terms “dissociative amnesia without dissociative fugue” and “dissociative amnesia with dissociative fugue,” whereas the ICD-10 treats dissociative amnesia and dissociative fugue as distinct diagnoses. 15. Which of the following is NOT true? a. Despite minimal evidence, medication remains a common treatment for DID b. Biofeedback is a type of behavioral intervention for people suffering from psychosomatic symptoms c. Sometimes, people dissociate in response to upsetting or traumatic events d. None of the above Explanation: All of the above are true. “Psychotropic medication isn’t a primary treatment for dissociative processes, and specific recommendations for pharmacotherapy for most dissociative symptoms await systematic research,” yet medication remains a common treatment for DID (pg. 257 of the textbook). Biofeedback is a behavioral intervention often used with people suffering from psychosomatic illnesses (pg. 269 of the textbook). In response to upsetting events such as trauma, stress, and bereavement, people sometimes dissociate (pg. 215 of the textbook). 16. Imagine a girl who craves attention in her life and unconsciously injures herself. As a result of her injuries, everyone begins to pay attention to her and takes care of her more. This best implies which of the following? a. Primary gain b. Secondary gain c. Depression d. None of the above Explanation: Secondary gain involves any other advantages the symptoms provide and is not the original unconscious conflict that the symptom expresses. Secondary gain involved the benefits and other good stuff the patient would get from having the symptoms. Primary gain is the reason for the symptom, aka., the primary conflict the symptom is intended to address (pg. 264 of the textbook). The benefit the girl is receiving is an additional benefit she receives due to her symptoms/injury. 17. Which of the following is TRUE about the difference between eating and feeding problems? a. There is no difference. Both can be used interchangeably b. Feeding problems disturbed body image; Eating problems food preferences  c. Feeding problems are seen in children, and eating problems are seen in adolescents d. Eating problems are the only reason for feeding problems Explanation: Feeding problems traditionally have been defined as being about food preference and are most often diagnosed in children. Typically, kids have fussy eating habits where they avoid or refuse to eat certain foods because of a taste, texture, or basic dislike of them (pg. 279 of the textbook). Eating problems are usually characterized by disturbed body image. Typically, they involved concerns about being overweight or experiencing one’s body negatively or in ways that appear distorted. Eating problems are more commonly diagnosed in adolescents and adults (pg. 279 of the textbook). 18. Which of the following disorders is common in people with intellectual disabilities? a. Rumination disorder b. Anorexia c. Pica d. Bulimia Explanation: Pica is diagnosed in people who consistently eat non-food substances like paper, soap, cloth, wool, dirt, paint, etc. This is most commonly diagnosed in children but can be diagnosed in adults as well. It is more common in people with intellectual disabilities (pg. 284 of the textbook). Rumination disorder is diagnosed in people who re-chew, re-swallow, or spit out food after intentionally regurgitating it. In the ICD-10, it is listed as a disorder of infancy and childhood diagnosis, but in the DSM-5, it is noted that it can also occur in adolescence or adulthood. Similar to pica, it is more common in those with intellectual disabilities (pg. 284 of the textbook). 19. According to _____, anorexic patients have a ______ ego that disables them to manage _____ id impulses a. Classic psychoanalysis; weak; oral b. Modern psychodynamic; strong; anal c. Modern psychodynamic; strong; oral d. Classic psychodynamic; weak; anal Explanation: Classic psychoanalysis traced anorexia back to oral stage conflicts. This anorexic patient was seen as having a weak ego that was unable to manage strong oral id impulse; more specifically, the unconscious desire for oral impregnation (desire to become pregnant by oral means). Anorexic eating behaviors were seen as a way to manage unacceptable oral impregnation wishes and reassert control. Modern psychodynamic perspectives shift from this drive theory to a more relationship-focused explanation of eating problems with a general shared idea that eating problems can be traced back to early parent-child interactions (pg. 296 of the textbook). 20. Less education and lower SES are correlated with _____, while more education and higher SES are correlated with _____. a. Binge eating; Bulimia b. Anorexia; Muscle dysmorphia c. Anorexia; Bulimia d. Binge eating: Desire for Thinness Explanation: The desire for thinness is primarily seen among middle- and upper-class white females. Less education and lower SES are generally correlated with binge-eating issues, while more education and higher SES are usually correlated with issues tied to a drive for thinness.  21. Imagine an immigrant from Pakistan who moved to the U.S. to join a PhD program. According to dislocation studies, what can be a potential reason for her to be at a greater risk of eating disorders in comparison to native students? a. Immigrants who internalize Western beliefs are at greater risk than native students b. Immigrants who externalize Western beliefs are at greater risk than native students c. Immigrants who move to a new place at young ages are not as risk d. None of the above Explanation: Anorexia and Bulimic behaviors are increasing among minorities within majority white societies. Dislocation studies (which are studies looking at the rates of eating disorders in people who temporarily move from cultures where eating disorders are less common to ones where they are more common) found an increased rate of eating disorders. So, immigrants who internalize Western beliefs appear to be at greater risk than native-born citizens for eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia. Disordered eating spreads cross-culturally because when a culture, or subcultures within it, comes to celebrate thinness as an ideal that everyone should strive for, then it would make sense that problematic eating behaviors also occur (pg. 303 of the textbook). 22. The Cognitive Behavioral perspective of Dissociation states that dissociation is… a. A survival response to trauma b. A reflection of unconscious or subconscious trauma c. A conditioned response d. None of the above Explanation: The cognitive behavioral perspective states that dissociation is learned through both classical and operant conditioning. Classical conditioning in this case is the presence of external and internal stimuli that evokes both physical and mental avoidance responses. Operant conditioning in this instance is the forgetting of traumatic memories that is reinforced by feelings of emotional release upon forgetting. 23. Which disorder is characterized by an obsessive focus on muscularity and body size, often influenced by media images a. Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder b. Binge eating disorder c. Muscle dysmorphia d. Anorexia nervosa Explanation: A type of body dysmorphic disorder known as muscle dysmorphia occurs when people obsess over the belief that they lack sufficient muscle mass, a worry that is frequently heightened by social and media norms. 24. What is the difference between somatization disorder and somatic symptom disorder? a. somatic symptoms with excessive worrying; physical symptoms b. physical symptoms; somatic symptoms with excessive worrying c. somatization and somatic symptoms both include worrying in their symptoms d. none of the above Explanation: Somatization disorder includes physical symptoms with no physical explanation. They can be seen as other ways of expressing psychological conflict. Somatic symptom disorder includes somatic symptoms, which may or may not be biologically based, and excessive worrying about these symptoms. 25. WOTF best describes how culture influences the perception and treatment of anxiety disorders? a. cultural beliefs have no impact on anxiety disorders b. culture determines the biological basis of anxiety c. cultural context shapes the expression of symptoms and preferred treatment d. all cultures have identical treatment methodologies Explanation: Cultural context plays a crucial role in shaping how anxiety symptoms are expressed and understood, influencing both diagnosis and treatment preference. Therapists must be aware of cultural differences to provide effective and sensitive care to individuals.
