Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Subjective burden refers to the grief, fear, guilt, anger, and other negative emotions that family members experience in response to a loved one's mental illness. Because the grief seems interminable, many relatives experience chronic sorrow.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Iatrogenic burden is attributable to a flawed mental health system and to the attitudes and behaviors of some professionals who cling to outmoded theories about families and mental illness. In addition to generalized system failure, families identify confidentiality laws, involuntary treatment laws, and discrimination in insurance, treatment, housing, and employment as specific sources of burden.
