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: Understanding the Concept
The passage describes a person with repeated thoughts and repeated acts. Such a pattern points to a disorder in which unwanted ideas and urges force a person into rituals.

Step 2: Read the clues in the passage
Seema washes her hands again and again. She walks only inside patterns on the floor. She cannot control her preoccupation with certain ideas and cannot stop repeating acts. Anxiety follows when she tries to stop.

Step 3: Check option (1) Post-traumatic stress disorder
PTSD follows a terrible event. Its signs are flashbacks, nightmares and avoidance of reminders. The passage mentions no such event, so (1) is wrong.

Step 4: Check option (2) Obsessive-compulsive disorder
OCD has obsessions (intrusive thoughts) and compulsions (repeated acts such as washing or counting). Every clue in the passage fits. So (2) is correct.

Step 5: Check option (3) Bipolar disorder
Bipolar disorder swings between high mood (mania) and low mood (depression). Nothing in the passage speaks of mood swings, so (3) is wrong.

Step 6: Check option (4) Conversion disorder
In conversion disorder, stress turns into a physical symptom such as paralysis or blindness with no medical cause. The passage has no such symptom, so (4) is wrong.

Final Answer:
Seema shows obsessive-compulsive disorder, which is option (2). \[ \boxed{\text{Option (2)}} \]
