Answer to Question 1

C
Somatization is a polysymptomatic disorder (i.e., one associated with many signs and symptoms).

Answer to Question 2

A
Unable to cope in the community setting, people with chronic psychiatric problems often return to institutions or use community services on a revolving-door basis. This behavior pattern is known as recidivism and means a relapse of a symptom, disease, or behavior. Recidivism is a major problem in mental health care.
