Answer 1

When an apparently healthy person is diagnosed as unhealthy by a psychiatrist, the reason could be that he shows behavioural and social maladjustment.

Explanation:

When a psychiatrist diagnoses an apparently healthy person as unhealthy, it is often because the person exhibits behavioural and social maladjustment. This means the person shows difficulties in adapting to social norms and behavior that affects their mental health, even if outward signs such as work efficiency, interest in studies, or economic prosperity seem fine. Therefore, behavioural and social maladjustment is a key reason for psychiatric diagnosis of illness in such cases.
