The correct answer is E. Depression psychosis.
Depression psychosis is a condition which may worsen with the presence of TMJ dysfunction.

People most prone to TMJ possess a malocclusion. Other factors that cause TMJ disease include grinding teeth during sleep (bruxism), having an overbite, and rheumatoid arthritis.
