Timothy is thirteen-year-old male being referred to a clinic for treatment by a detention center counselor. This teenager has been in frequent trouble with the law, demonstrating no regard for right and wrong. He often violates the rights of others, lies, behaves violently, and has a known drug addiction. Timothy is unable to fulfill the responsibilities of family or school. He should obtain treatment for what kind of disorder?

  1. Conduct disorder
  2. Bi-polar disorder
  3. Avoidant personality disorder
  4. Conflict disorder

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Conduct disorder is a youthful antecedent to anti-social personality disorder. An individual's manner of thinking, perceiving situations and relating to others is abnormal. This disorder is presumed to be caused by a combination of environmental and genetic influences. It is unusual to diagnose someone with anti-social personality disorder as an adult who did not exhibit the traits of conduct disorder in his youth.



Pamela was robbed at gunpoint one evening as she was walking home from work. The assailant dragged her into an alley and punched her repeatedly in the face. A gun was put to her head and she was ordered to hand over all the jewelry she was wearing. The attacker also got away with her money, credit cards, and cell phone. Six months after this event occurred, Pamela began having flashbacks and frightening dreams. She started demonstrating emotional detachment from family and friends. What type of disorder is Pamela suffering from?

  1. Dissociative identity disorder
  2. Avoidance disorder
  3. Attachment disorder
  4. Post-traumatic stress disorder

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Post-traumatic stress disorder will occur after an individual has seen or experienced an
event that involved death or injury. Symptoms may occur right after the trauma or could surface six months later. If the symptoms last for a short period of time, one to three months, it is called Acute Stress Disorder.



Loss of mental functions such as thinking, reasoning, and memory can be associated with this disorder. The symptoms are severe enough to interfere with daily functioning and normally affect the elderly population. In some cases, it can be cured or treated. Untreatable causes include AIDS complex, Parkinson's, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. What is being described?

  1. Alzheimer's
  2. Dissociative disorder
  3. Dementia
  4. Alcoholism

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Dementia is a group of symptoms rather than a disease. It develops when parts of the brain associated with learning and memory are affected by infection or disease. There are as many as 50 known causes, ranging from excessive alcohol use to Alzheimer's. Research indicates that half of all individuals over the age of 80 have dementia.

Being a full time mom does not leave much time for studying. So I resorted to this braindumps questions and answers. With a 20% discount offer the price of $31 is well worth saving so much time. I managed to pass the exam with 78% mark. Now I have my certificate and don't have to worry for the whole year.

Well, the content is okay. It helped me with the exam but it is better you study outside these brain dumps if you want to learn the topics. Using this braindumps will only help you pass. It does not teach you much.
