amelia is in an institution sometimes she laughs for no apparent reason and at other times she sits without expression all day long sometimes she thinks people in the wall are looking at her she suffers from A. dissociative fugue B. schizophrenia C. insanity D. dissociative identity disorder

AngeI:

Hello welcome to QuestionCove c: First of all I have to ask, what do you think it is?

pokwmon1w3:

i think it is A

AngeI:

Dissociative figure is when someone loses their awareness of who they are and other important info about themself. So that does not seem to match what Amelia has

pokwmon1w3:

ok what about d

AngeI:

Dissociative identity order is when you have one or more identities. So split personalities, which she also doesn't seem to have. A big hint of what she has is that "she thinks people in the walls are looking at her"

pokwmon1w3:

c

AngeI:

Yes I believe that is correct, as people with schizophrenia will see / hear things. They will also have unstable moods which explains the random laughing

pokwmon1w3:

ok thanks
