It allows them to gather their thoughts and express themselves more effectively. By giving them space to think, we demonstrate active listening and create a supportive environment for effective communication. Looking away from the speaker or looking out of a window while the speaker is speaking may indicate disinterest or distraction, which can hinder effective listening.

Furthermore, cultural differences and individual variations can also affect the diagnosis of mental illnesses. Therefore, it is not accurate to claim that all mental illnesses are diagnosable.

- A.

- C.

B. Is this false?

Explanation
This statement is false. Having a genetic disposition where mental ill health runs in the family can indeed make someone more prone to mental illness. Research has shown that certain mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, have a strong genetic component. Individuals with a family history of these disorders are at a higher risk of developing them themselves. While genetics alone do not guarantee the development of mental illness, they can increase susceptibility. Other factors such as environmental triggers and personal experiences also play a role in the manifestation of mental health conditions.
