What is true about functioning in Delusional Disorder?

• A. Markedly impaired
• B. Severely disabled
• C. Not very impaired
• D. Extreme social withdrawal

Answer: (C)

How functioning is typically affected in Delusional Disorder. In this condition, people have fixed delusions but their overall functioning is not markedly impaired. They can usually maintain employment, relationships, and daily activities, with distress arising mainly from the delusional content rather than from widespread dysfunction. The idea here is that functioning is preserved or only mildly affected outside of the delusions, which aligns with the statement that functioning is not very impaired. The other descriptions imply broad, global impairment or extreme withdrawal, which would point to other psychotic disorders rather than Delusional Disorder.
