Question 5 of 5
In the movie, Marcus, a 17-year-old teenager at the group home demonstrates that he is experiencing a maturational crisis. Which of the following best describes a maturational crisis in mental health for a teen?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A condition caused by genetic factors that affects mental health stability describes a genetic predisposition to mental health issues, not a maturational crisis. A severe mental illness that requires long-term psychiatric treatment is not necessarily temporary or related to a maturational crisis. A temporary state of emotional turmoil and confusion that arises during a predictable event and/or significant life transitions accurately describes a maturational crisis, which occurs during predictable life transitions such as adolescence. A chronic condition characterized by persistent mental health issues throughout the lifespan is not temporary and does not align with a maturational crisis.
