Answer to Question 1

A
Dependency is stage 4 of the stages of illness and is characterized by relying on and accepting the attention of others. The appearance of symptoms is the first stage of illness and refers to notice of an undesirable change and awareness that something is not right; recovery and rehabilitation constitute stage 5 of illness; and the sick role is the second stage of illness, in which an individual accepts the illness and focuses on treatment and/or recovery.

Answer to Question 2

A
The process of changing one's identity is purposely delayed for up to 2 years because this transformation is irreversible. In addition to the surgery and the hormonal therapy, intense psychological counseling is part of the process.
