Answer to Question 1

The personality disorders are a category of mental illness characterized by extremely rigid patterns of behavior. Usually, people with these disorders have significant difficulty maintaining personal relationships because they refuse to change to accommodate other people. Individuals with borderline personality disorder have very stormy relationships and excessive mood swings, accompanied by an unstable self- image. Antisocial personality disorder includes a wide variety of characteristics including a disregard for societal standards, a lack of concern for the welfare of others, and a lack of remorse for wrongdoing. Although people with this disorder are sometimes referred to as sociopaths or psychopaths, the majority do not engage in criminal behavior. In fact, many are highly intelligent and charming.

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.
