Explanation:

1. Poor physical health, inability to cope with stress, family history of mental - health disorders, and traumatic past experiences can contribute to mental - health disorders. Loving relationships and ability to handle challenges are positive factors.
2. Loss of independence, inability to manage finances without assistance, extreme losses in friends and family, and chronic pain interfering with sleep are risk factors for suicidal intent in older people. Adaptability and ability to obtain groceries are not such risk factors.
3. Self - harm is inflicting harm on oneself to deal with negative emotions like anxiety, depression, or loss of control.
4. Chain smoking is an unhealthy coping response to stress. Walking, exercising, and having a piece of cake with a meal are not unhealthy in this context.
5. Older people may not be diagnosed with depression because symptoms can be mistaken for dementia. Depression is not rare in older people, and treatment of physical problems is not the main reason for misdiagnosis, and depression in older people is not always mild and untreated.
6. Delusions of persecution involve believing one is mistreated, abused, or harassed. Seeing, hearing, or feeling something that is not there is a hallucination, not related to persecution delusions. Not sleeping or self - care neglect and poor judgment are not specific to persecution delusions.
7. In anorexia nervosa, dieting even when emaciated is a common behavior. Withdrawing from the world can be seen in other disorders too, regression is not typical of anorexia, and delusions or hallucinations are not the main features.
8. Legal drugs, illegal drugs, and alcohol can all be abused.
