Dimitri, a third-year college student, has made no close friends on campus. He keeps to himself in class, doesn't join any study groups, and tends to go to the cafeteria early when it's empty so he can sit alone. He doesn't seem very interested in anything and rarely shows any emotion. In his first year his classmates tried to engage him, but now they just ignore him or complain if they are assigned to work with him on a group project. Based on this characterization, you might most reasonably suspect that Dimitri has:
A. a dissociative disorder because he seems to be detached from his own mental state. B. an anxiety disorder because he must be worrying about how he will be perceived or judged. C. a personality disorder because his behavior patterns are pervasive and maladaptive. D. a mood disorder because he has little interest or little emotion.
