Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Mental illness is contagious.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Mental illness is not contagious. It cannot be spread from person to person like a virus or bacteria. Mental illnesses are complex conditions that can be caused by a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. While certain mental health issues may run in families due to genetic factors, they are not contagious in the traditional sense. It is important to understand that mental illness is not something that can be caught or transmitted between individuals.

    Alzheimer's is a mental illness. 

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Alzheimer's is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It is considered a mental illness because it primarily affects cognitive functions and can lead to significant impairment in daily functioning. Individuals with Alzheimer's experience memory loss, confusion, and difficulty with problem-solving and communication. The disease progresses over time, causing severe cognitive decline and ultimately interfering with the ability to carry out daily activities independently. Therefore, the statement that Alzheimer's is a mental illness is true.

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement "Suicide is the number one most common way to die in the world" is false. Suicide is a serious issue, but it is not the most common way to die globally. There are several other causes of death such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, respiratory diseases, and accidents that contribute to higher mortality rates compared to suicide.

    There are five mental illnesses.

      True

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because there are more than five mental illnesses. Mental illnesses encompass a wide range of conditions, including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, and many others. Therefore, the statement that there are only five mental illnesses is incorrect.

    Rate this question:

    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement "One in one hundred people suffer from mental illness" is false. This statement implies that 1% of the population is affected by mental illness, which is not accurate. According to various studies and statistics, the prevalence of mental illness varies greatly depending on the specific disorder and population. It is estimated that around 20% of the global population suffers from mental health disorders at some point in their lives, making the given statement incorrect.
