A female client's husband, in whom a chronic illness was recently diagnosed, is hospitalized. She states that she cannot stop worrying about what is going to happen with her husband's treatment and how they are going to pay the bills because he will not be working. What reaction is the client most likely experiencing?

D. Peer relationships are critically important during adolescence. Positive peer relationships can provide emotional support, a sense of belonging, and opportunities for socialization and development of social skills. On the other hand, negative peer relationships, such as bullying, social exclusion, or conflicts with peers, can contribute to feelings of loneliness, rejection, and depression.

A. While positive communication between teachers and teenagers can contribute to academic success and emotional support, it is not typically listed as a primary factor directly related to depression in adolescence. Issues related to academics and school performance may indirectly affect depression, but direct communication with teachers is less likely to be a significant factor compared to other options.

B. Effective communication between parents and teenagers plays a crucial role in adolescent development. Supportive and open communication can help adolescents feel understood, validated, and supported, which can have a protective effect against depression. Conversely, poor communication or conflict within the family environment can contribute to feelings of isolation, distress, and ultimately depression.

C. Academic stress, performance pressure, and difficulties in school can significantly impact an adolescent's mental health. High expectations, bullying, academic failure, or feeling overwhelmed by schoolwork can contribute to feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, and depression in adolescents.

D. Depersonalization disorder is a dissociative disorder where individuals feel detached from themselves, as if they are observing their own thoughts, feelings, sensations, or actions from outside their body. This can lead to a sense of unreality or detachment from the environment or one's own experiences. It is often triggered by stressful events or trauma, and it can occur in individuals experiencing grief or loss, such as the surviving husband in this scenario.

A. Dissociative fugue involves sudden, unexpected travel away from home or one's customary place of activities, accompanied by an inability to recall one's past. It is usually associated with amnesia for personal information and is not characterized by depersonalization symptoms.

B. DID involves the presence of two or more distinct personality states or identities within an individual, which alternate and take control of behavior. Each identity may have its own unique way of perceiving and interacting with the environment, which differs from the symptoms described in the scenario.

C. Dissociative amnesia involves the inability to recall important personal information, usually related to stressful or traumatic events. While depersonalization symptoms can occur in dissociative amnesia, the hallmark feature is memory loss rather than the feeling of detachment from one's body.
