Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Bipolar disorder ranks as number six on the list of top 10 causes of mental disability worldwide. The terms anxiety disorders and psychotic disorders reflect general categories of mental disorders and could constitute a number of more specific disorders not on the list. While panic disorder is classified as an anxiety disorder, it is not on the WHO list of the top 10 causes of mental disability worldwide.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Group therapy provides an interpersonal testing ground that allows members to try out old and new ways of being in an environment specifically structured for that purpose. Group therapy may, indeed, provide support for clients and families on a regular basis, but the emphasis is to provide a structured environment for the client to experiment with new behaviors. Using health care benefits is not a reason to participate in group therapy.
