A. panic disorder.
B. obsessive-compulsive disorder.
C. generalized anxiety disorder.
D. a histrionic personality disorder.

Answer 1

The answer is B. obssesive-compulsive disorder.

Step-by-step explanation:

This disorder occurs when a person has unwanted, repeated thoughts and must carry out an action in order to supress them. When someone engages in these behaviours, however, the relief is usually short-term. The thoughts come back and the person must carry out the actions again (compulsions).
