How does sex addiction differ from drug or alcohol addiction?
 
  a. Those with sex addictions tend to cause more emotional harm to their families than those who are addicted to drugs or alcohol.
  b. Those with drugs or alcohol addictions tend to cause more emotional harm to their families than those who are addicted to sex.
  c. Withdrawal symptoms do not occur when a sex addict abstains from sex, but do occur when a drug or alcohol addict loses access to drugs or alcohol.
  d. Withdrawal symptoms occur for both sex addicts and drug or alcohol addicts, but the symptoms are more severe for drug or alcohol addicts than for sex addicts.

Question 2

What is a major problem with how sexual addiction is diagnosed?
 
  a. Those who are classified as sexual addicts also tend to rate low on veracity, thus diminishing the reliability of the self-reports used for diagnosis.
  b. Plethysmographs used to monitor a male's penile blood flow in response to sexual stimuli are not sensitive enough to detect more subtle changes in sexual arousal, often leading to an underdiagnosis of sexual addiction.
  c. The sexual addiction screening test is ambiguous because of its open-ended questions, often leading to an overdiagnosis of sexual addiction.
  d. Sexual addiction is often diagnosed by the number of people a person has had sex with, thus ignoring many other important aspects of sexual compulsion.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
