Why is it important to rule out medical conditions such as Parkinson's disease or obesity
in diagnosing social anxiety disorder?
Select one:
Because if a medical condition is present, then a physician must sign off on any
additional diagnoses
To be sure the social avoidance and fear of negative evaluation does not stem from a
condition that might naturally attract unwanted attention
Because some of the physical symptoms of Parkinson's and obesity overlap with the
symptoms of social anxiety disorder
Because an individual can only receive one diagnosis so psychologists must be sure
they have the right one
