Which of the following is an example of a psychological disorder?

  1. Shyness

  2. Depression

  3. Anxiety

  4. Excessive studying

The correct answer is: Depression

Possible explanation A psychological disorder refers to a mental health condition that disrupts an individual's thoughts, emotions, or behaviors. While shyness, anxiety, and excessive studying can all be symptoms of a psychological disorder, depression is the only option that is a clear example of a psychological disorder. Being shy, anxious, or studying excessively does not necessarily label someone with a diagnosis, whereas depression is a specific condition with defined criteria and symptoms.
