Quizplus · Accepted Answer

People with dependent personality disorder often attribute their problems to physical causes and seek help from medical professionals rather than mental health professionals.

Option C is also incorrect as there is no known link between dependent personality disorder and physiological problems such as asthma and migraine headaches.
