Explanation / Answer

As there is no indication of which question needs an answer in your multiple questions posted together, I’m providing below the answer to your first major question.

Answer 1) Tony’s behavior often causes his parents a lot of anguish, pain, and discomfort in addition to embarrassment in front of guests. According to the “4 Ds” of determining whether something is a mental disorder, such behavior is known as distressing (Option C).

Explanation of the answer: When we talk of the first option called dysthymic, it is a kind of depression that makes the person feeling tired, having low concentration, low self-esteem, and difficulty sleeping. The second option called discordant refers to the resulting behavior of any conflict the person may have about his self-image. The last option called dichotic is about selective attention or lack of concentration on one message when two messages are received simultaneously. As compared to all these aspects, the third option of distressing is different in the sense that it results in anguish and pain. In this situation, the abnormality is accompanied by distress to others, which is seen in Tony’s behavior too. His distressing behavior is discomforting and embarrassing for observers. Thus, option C (distressing) is your answer.
