Question

which statement describes grief affecting mental health?
○ hanna takes out her anger on close family and friends.
○ gabriel has no appetite and seems to be losing weight.
○ alina is inconsolable after learning about her father’s death.
○ raphael has not slept well since having to change his routine.

Explanation:

To determine which statement describes grief affecting mental health, we analyze each option:

• Hanna taking out anger on others relates more to emotional outbursts but not directly grief - related mental health impact in the core sense of grief from loss.
• Gabriel's appetite loss and weight loss is a physical symptom, not mental health.
• Alina being inconsolable after her father's death is a clear sign of grief (from the loss of a loved one) affecting her mental state (intense sadness, inability to be comforted).
• Raphael's sleep issues are due to routine change, not grief.

Answer:

C. Alina is inconsolable after learning about her father’s death.
