Question

When an apparently healthy person is diagnosed as unhealthy by a psychiatrist, the reason could be that

• A. the patient was not efficient at his work
• B. the patient was violent
• C. the patient shows behavioural and social maladjustment
• D. he does not take an interest in sports

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

the patient shows behavioural and social maladjustment

Health does not just mean being disease-free. Health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. Therefore, if the apparently healthy person shows behavioural and social maladjustment, he can be diagnosed as unhealthy.
