Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: A mental disorder is a psychological group of symptoms in which an individual experiences distress, or impairment in one or more areas of functioning, or a significant increased risk of suffering, pain, loss of freedom, or death. Grieving after a loss is a normal grief response and does not constitute a mental disorder.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Dopamine disruptions are involved in psychosis. Serotonin and norepinephrine are associated with mood disorders. Acetylcholine is associated with dementia of the Alzheimer's type.
