Question

which most likely indicates the need to seek professional help?
○ feeling good even in difficult times
○ feeling some anxiety occasionally
○ never using alcohol or drugs in order to feel better
○ having distress that seems out of proportion to one’s problems

Explanation:

• "Feeling good even in difficult times" is a sign of resilience, not a need for professional help.
• "Feeling some anxiety occasionally" is normal as anxiety can be a natural response to stressors.
• "Never using alcohol or drugs to feel better" is a healthy coping mechanism.
• "Having distress that seems out of proportion to one’s problems" suggests that the emotional response is not typical and may indicate an underlying mental health issue that could benefit from professional guidance.

D. having distress that seems out of proportion to one’s problems
