Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study found that 48% of those interviewed had experienced a disorder at some point in their lives. This suggests that mental health disorders are fairly common in the population studied.

B) is incorrect as comorbidity (the co-occurrence of multiple disorders) was actually found to be present in many of the participants.

C) is incorrect as the study did not focus specifically on posttraumatic stress disorders, and therefore did not provide information on their frequency in the population studied.

D) is also incorrect as the study did not specifically examine narcissistic personality disorder, and no information is provided to suggest that 30% of participants experienced this specific disorder.
