Question

Monty felt neglected as a child. Although his physical needs were met, he lacked attention from his parents. Consequently, he joined the army as soon as he graduated high school. He served two years in Iraq and was discharged after being injured in combat. He returned home and could not find employment for over two years, and he was socially withdrawn because he could not relate to his friends. Which aspect of his life was MOST likely to trigger a stress disorder

Answer 1

Answer: His Combat History

Explanation: It is evident that Monty’s combat history is the point that elicited a stress disorder.

This mental health condition triggered by a terrifying event, which is not able to find employment for over two years. Coupled with the lack of attention towards him that has been experiencing since childhood, he couldn't relate his predicament to his friends.

Thus, the defining moment that led to this stress disorder, is his withdrawal from the army after being injured in combat. Perhaps, if he is still at the army, he wouldn't have witnessed this stress disorder.
