This behavior aligns with the diagnostic criteria for factitious disorder. ## Analyze Question 42 Exposure therapy (watching documentaries about the feared illness without performing safety behaviors/coping strategies) is highly effective for illness anxiety disorder. It helps reduce both the excessive cognitive/bodily complaints and the underlying anxiety. ## Analyze Question 43 Shawn has somatic symptom disorder with prominent pain, high health-related anxiety, excessive time/energy devoted to these symptoms (searching online for hours), and significant impairment in daily functioning (unable to carry out routine activities, stays home on the couch). Under DSM-5 criteria, having multiple somatic symptoms (or one severe) along with severe cognitive/behavioral symptoms and high impairment indicates a severe classification. ## Analyze Question 44 In dissociative identity disorder, the host personality (the identity that carries the individual's real name and is active most of the time) is typically overwhelmed by the attempt to hold all the fragmented personalities together and frequently suffers from amnesia regarding the actions of the alter personalities. ## Question 41 a. Conversion disorder
