Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Judith's symptoms, including delusions, hallucinations, withdrawal from human contact, and childlike behavior, are indicative of disorganized schizophrenia. Dissociative reactions typically involve feelings of detachment or dissociation from one's self or surroundings, but do not typically involve psychosis. Catatonic schizophrenia involves a range of motor symptoms, such as stupor or excessive movement, which are not described in this scenario. General anxiety reaction is not a diagnosis recognized in the DSM-5.
