Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Depression in children may be indicated by apathy, night terrors, somatic complaints, and irritability. These symptoms are not suggestive of ADHD, conduct disorder, or psychosis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Crime is a common manifestation of oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder. High-risk sexual behavior may accompany the disorders but is not diagnostic. Tics and verbal outbursts are characteristic of Tourette's syndrome. Difficulty in relating to others is characteristic of autism spectrum disorders.
