Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A temporary breakdown in coping skills is indicative of crisis behavior, which may be due to a variety of factors such as a stressful event or a change in life circumstances. It does not necessarily mean that the person is mentally ill or contemplating suicide. The term "mentally retarded" is now considered outdated and offensive, and has been replaced with the term "intellectual disability."
