Akram is unable to control his preoccupation with specific ideas, or is unable to prevent himself from repeatedly carrying out a particuular act. Akram is likely to suffer from which of the following disorders?
Answer: B
Akram is likely to suffer from OCD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, in which a person cannot control recurring, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) or cannot stop repeating an act (compulsions). PTSD follows an extremely traumatic event, GAD (generalised anxiety disorder) is a constant, free-floating worry, and SAD (social anxiety disorder) is fear of social situations.
Obsessions are intrusive thoughts and compulsions are repeated acts, such as hand washing, that the person feels driven to do.
