Jane, a patient in a psychiatric hospital, believes the hospital staff are sending poisons through the ventilator to her room. She is experiencing delusions and complains that there are times when, without warning, her heart begins to pound, her hands get icy, and she breaks out in a sweat. Jane may have a disorder. Sally rarely steps outside her apartment. Her behavior is characteristic of agoraphobia. Even though Lucy and her husband both are in good health and have good jobs, they fear they will lose their jobs and have more than adequate savings. They accept welfare. Lucy may have generalized anxiety disorder. For the last month, Mary has been unable to get out of bed in the morning. She has withdrawn from friends and family. She feels worthless. Mary most likely has depression. On several occasions, Willie has been taken to an emergency hospital because he seemed to be having a heart attack. His dizziness, choking, difficulty breathing, and heart palpitations are symptoms of panic disorder. Every day Sharon worries about whether she turned off the stove. She can barely think of anything else. This is an example of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Johanna skipped class the day of her oral report because of her intense fear of making a fool of herself. Her behavior is consistent with social anxiety disorder. Phyllis lives in her own private world. Her speech is incomprehensible. She giggles at tragedies and spends hours communicating with imaginary people. She may be diagnosed with schizophrenia. Mr. W., a patient in a psychiatric hospital, often maintains bizarre stationary poses for hours. He also has bouts of wild, excited movement. His diagnosis is probably a movement disorder.
