Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Depression is the most common mental health disorder of later life. Anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, and alcoholism are all incorrect; although these disorders are present in older adults, they occur in far fewer numbers than depression.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Somatic complaints are often the presenting symptoms of mental health disorders, such as depression, making diagnosis difficult. Depression is a common disorder among this population but knowing that does not aide in identifying the clients who are depressed. The remaining options are not true regarding the mental disorder of depression.
