Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Women experience anxiety disorders more often than do men by a 2-to-1 ratio. Anxiety disorders are the most common of the psychiatric illnesses treated by health care providers. They tend to be chronic and persistent illnesses, with full recovery more likely among those who do not have other mental or physical illnesses. Anxiety disorders are the most common condition of adolescents, with one in three having an anxiety disorder.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Adaptation can be conceptualized as a person's capacity to survive and flourish. Adaptation, or lack of it, affects three important areas: health, psychological well-being, and social functioning. A period of stress may compromise any or all of these areas. If a person copes successfully with stress, he or she returns to a previous level of adaptation. Successful coping results in an improvement in health, well-being, and social functioning. Accepting help, solving problems, and setting reasonable goals are means for achieving adaptation.
