Every time your cousin Lupita comes to visit, she has to ring the doorbell 10 times, even if she sees you walking toward the door to answer. Which of the following personality disorders does this behavior describe? (1 point) Responses schizophrenia schizophrenia generalized anxiety disorder generalized anxiety disorder obsessive-compulsive disorder obsessive-compulsive disorder depression

Answer 1

This behavior could potentially be characteristic of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Obsessive-compulsive disorder involves recurrent and persistent thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that individuals feel driven to perform in response to their obsessions or according to certain rules. In this case, the repetitive behavior of ringing the doorbell, even when Lupita sees someone walking towards the door, could be seen as a compulsion driven by her obsession with following a specific rule. It is important to note that a professional assessment would be needed to provide an accurate diagnosis.
