Answer to Question 1

C
Tics are sudden rapid, involuntary, repetitive movements or vocalizations characteristic of Tourette's disorder. They often fluctuate in frequency and severity and are reduced or absent during sleep.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
Family influence is a psychosocial factor affecting a patient's mental health. A hostile, overinvolved family is critical of the patient and contributes to low self-esteem. Genetic factors influence an individual's risk for mental disorder but are not psychosocial factors. Religious influences are psychosocial in nature. Life experiences, especially crises and losses, are psychosocial influences on mental health. Treatment with a biological agent, such as antidepressant medication, is an example of a biological influence.
