Night terrors, also known as sleep terrors, are episodes of intense fear, screaming, and thrashing during sleep.

    PTSD is a personality disorder, true or false?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    PTSD, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, is not a personality disorder. It is a mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. Personality disorders, on the other hand, are characterized by long-term patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that deviate from cultural expectations and cause distress or impairment. PTSD and personality disorders are distinct conditions with different diagnostic criteria and treatment approaches. Therefore, the statement "PTSD is a personality disorder" is false.

    The Diagnostic & Statistics Manual V (DSM-V) was not written in 2014. The DSM-V was actually published in May 2013, not 2014. Therefore, the statement is false.
