Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Samha's symptoms are most consistent with those of a mood disorder, specifically depression. Loss of interest, sadness, self-blame, changes in weight and sleep patterns are all common symptoms of depression. Dissociative disorders involve disruptions in memory, consciousness or identity, personality disorders involve inflexible and maladaptive patterns of behavior and thinking, and anxiety disorders involve excessive and persistent fear or worry.
