Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The symptoms described in the scenario, such as believing oneself to be someone else (Napoleon), having delusions of being imprisoned, and being in a psychiatric hospital for treatment, are characteristic of schizophrenia. Multiple personality disorder is now referred to as dissociative identity disorder, and while the scenario mentions a belief of being someone else, there is not enough information to suggest that Jabar has multiple distinct identities. Panic disorder involves recurrent panic attacks, which are not described in the scenario. Therefore, B is the best choice.
