Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: d

Answer to Question 2

Although anxiety disorders occur in adults of all ages, they are common in older individuals due to reasons such as loss of health, relocation stress, isolation, and fear of losing independence. Anxiety disorders include problems such as feeling anxiety for no apparent reason, phobias (fears of specific things or places), and obsessive- compulsive disorders in which obsessive thoughts lead one to perform certain behaviors repeatedly. Anxiety disorders are relatively common in older individuals.
They are diagnosed in 17 of older men and 21 of older women.
