Answer options
- Increased ESR
- Leukocytosis
- Thrombocytopenia

- No changes
Correct answer
No changes
Explanation
Although there are functional or mental changes, there are no organic changes and hence no changes in blood formula. An organic disease is one caused by a physical or physiological change to some tissue or organ of the body. The term sometimes excludes infections. It is commonly used in contrast with mental disorders.
