Answer to Question 1

A
With systematic desensitization, the patient must first be able to relax the muscles. Next, the patient constructs a hierarchy of the anxiety-producing situation (insects) by ranking them from 1 to 10 . The patient then proceeds to work through the hierarchy, using muscle relaxation to maintain a relaxation response in the face of fearful stimuli.

Answer to Question 2

A
A large international study found that depression was the number one psychiatric cause of disability in the world. Four other psychiatric disorders also were among the top 10, including alcohol abuse, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
