Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: Vegetative functions are basic bodily processes, such as eating, sleeping, feeling pleasure, and elimination. Sleep disturbance is a vegetative sign commonly seen in patients with depression. Suicidal ideation, helplessness, and hopelessness are all psychological, not vegetative, symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: All people with depression experience a dysphoric mood. Dysphoria is an unpleasant mood state that includes sadness, anxiety, or irritability. Some cultures have no word for depressive disorders and frequently present with somatic issues. Feeling tired is a physical state, not a mood. A euthymic mood indicates a mood in the normal range; anhedonia is a symptom characterized by a loss of interest or pleasure in all activities.
