Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pablo's behavior is indicative of psychosis, specifically auditory hallucinations and delusions, which are common symptoms of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. Neurotic disorders are characterized by excessive anxiety, while somatoform disorders involve physical symptoms without an underlying medical cause. Dissociative disorders involve disruptions or discontinuity in one's sense of identity, but they do not necessarily involve hallucinations or delusions.
