Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: Anhedonia describes the inability of the patient to enjoy an activity that used to give pleasure; this is a symptom of depression. Atypical features of depression include overeating, oversleeping, reactive mood, and rejection sensitivity. Aphasia is a lack of language abilities and is not a symptom of depression. Antagonism is being oppositional and is not a symptom of depression.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2, 3
Explanation: Feeling tense and unusually restless is characteristic of anxious distress. Overeating is a symptom of atypical depression. Early morning awakening and anhedonia are associated with melancholia. Hallucinations and thought disruptions are associated with psychosis.
