Question 21

Bipolar disorder involves extreme mood swings between manic (high energy, feeling capable) and depressive (worthless, suicidal thoughts) phases. Dissociative identity disorder has multiple personalities, fugue is a dissociative state with amnesia, and OCD involves obsessions/compulsions—none match Herbie’s mood shifts.

Somatoform disorders are defined by physical symptoms with no organic (physical) cause. Dissociative disorders involve detachment from self, anxiety disorders involve excessive worry, and mood disorders involve emotional state—only somatoform fits the description.
