Symptoms, side effects of medication, stigma, and self-image are the _____ a person may face with a disabling diagnosis.

  1. Action

  2. Barriers

  3. Relaxation Response

  4. Whole Health Management Action (WHAM) Plan

The correct answer is: Barriers

Some context on why the other options are incorrect A: Action could mean taking treatment or opting to be proactive, and while they may be related to what a person may face, the word "barriers" more accurately reflects the challenges a person may face with a disabling diagnosis. C: The relaxation response may be a coping mechanism for some people facing a disabling diagnosis, but it is not a direct challenge that they have to face. D: While the WHAM plan may help a person manage their symptoms and cope with their diagnosis, it is not a challenge or barrier that they face.
