Question

Which example indicates obsessive-compulsive disorder?

A.
Jo is obsessed with her weight and starves herself to reduce it.
B.
Sun Li is obsessed with eating and binges on food even when she is not hungry.
C.
Susan is obsessed with arranging her kitchen dishes and repeats this 10 times a day.

Answer 1

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is C because Obsessive Complusive Disorder is when someone feels a need to do something and if they don't something will happen. The need to arrange her dishes 10 times a day is not something that she wants to do but she needs to do.

A. is wrong because someone starving themselves to loose weight is something she chooses to do and she is most likey doing it to fit in with the 'perfect body' stereotype.

B. is wrong because eating when you aren't hungry is more of a eating disorder. The feel of need for food when it is not needed.
