Answer to Question 1

C
The overall affective sense of the depressed person is one of low self-esteem. Guilt often accompanies the low self-esteem. Data about depressed individuals do not suggest the applicability of body image disturbance. Denial and risk for violence may or may not be present.

Answer to Question 2

B
The characteristics mentioned in the scenario fit the description of paranoid personality disorder. Schizoid personality is characterized by shyness, withdrawal, and poor social relationships. Borderline personality is characterized by problems with identity, self-image, mood, and impulsivity. Narcissistic personality is characterized by self-importance, grandiosity, and a sense of entitlement.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
