Ans: C
Unlike many medical disorders, mental disorders are defined by clusters of behaviors, thoughts, and feelings, not underlying biological pathology. The alterations in thoughts, behaviors, and feelings are unexpected and outside normal, culturally defined limits. Laboratory tests are not used in diagnosing mental disorders.
