Trauma is defined as a disordered psychic/behavioral state resulting from severe mental/ emotional stress/physical injury. Which term matches this definition?

• A. Crisis Reaction
• B. Trauma
• C. Restraint
• D. Asset Forfeiture

Answer: (B)

Recognizing mental health terminology: trauma describes a lasting disruption in a person’s mental and emotional functioning after a severe stressor or injury. It isn’t just a momentary upset; it’s a disordered psychic/behavioral state that can persist and affect thoughts, feelings, and behavior. That matches the definition given. A crisis reaction is typically an acute, temporary response to a stressful event that may improve with time and support, not a persistent disorder. Restraint is a physical intervention, not a mental health state. Asset forfeiture is a legal mechanism, unrelated to psychological responses. So the term that matches the definition is trauma.
