Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: While the domains can overlap, the patient's lack of social connections and threat to her environment that result from being thrown out of the house are sociological factors that increase her risk for higher anxiety levels and physiological responses. Sociological considerations affect patient function, hope, and healing.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 2, 4, 5
Explanation: Factors affecting mental illnesses include a combination of genetic, environmental, psychological, and developmental influences. Twin studies show that there is both a genetic and environmental component that plays a role in critical developmental phases of neurons that regulate emotions and affect individual resilience toward stress-related disorders. Not all individuals who are exposed to the same trauma will develop an anxiety disorder.
