Question

Identify the psychological disorder Seema suffers from based on given diagnosis:

• A. Post-traumatic stress disorder
• B. Obsessive-compulsive disorder
• C. Bipolar disorder
• D. Conversion disorder

Hint:

Repeated thoughts plus repeated acts point to one disorder.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Idea: match the behaviour to a disorder family
List what Seema does: repeated washing, walking only in patterns, unstoppable thoughts, and distress. Then ask which disorder owns this list.

Step 2: Spot the two parts
The unstoppable thoughts are obsessions. The repeated washing and pattern walking are compulsions. A disorder that has both parts together is obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Step 3: Rule out option (1)
Post-traumatic stress disorder needs a past shock. No shock is told in the passage. Option (1) fails.

Step 4: Accept option (2)
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is defined by thoughts one cannot control plus acts one must repeat. This is exactly the case, so option (2) holds.

Step 5: Rule out option (3)
Bipolar disorder is about mood highs and lows. Seema has no such cycle. Option (3) fails.

Step 6: Rule out option (4)
Conversion disorder shows a bodily loss of function without a physical cause. Seema's body works normally. Option (4) fails.

Final Answer:
The diagnosis is obsessive-compulsive disorder, so option (2). \[ \boxed{\text{Option (2)}} \]
