Abstract

The results indicated that the mental symptoms were as follows: Obsessive-compulsive disorder, paranoia, depression, anxiety, physical symptoms, reactive sensitivity, hostility, fear, anxiety, and finally, psychotic problems. The results also showed statistically significant differences in the spread of psychological symptoms among males and females, as the turbulence of obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, and physical symptoms spread among males. In contrast, paranoia problems, Obsessive-compulsive disorder, and depression spread among females. The results did not reveal differences in the extent of the disorders' spread of anxiety, reactive sensitivity, fear anxiety, and mental symptoms.
