Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Mania is a defining feature of bipolar disorder that is not seen in patients that suffer only from depression. Bipolar disorder includes recurring episodes of depressive symptoms. It is not characterized by a short duration of symptoms. Suicidal ideation may be seen in patients with either bipolar or depressive disorder.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: Research by Cerda, Sagdeo, Johnson, and Galea (2010) shows that there is strong and consistent evidence to support an association between a patient with major depression and major depression in first-degree relatives. However, there is little evidence to support specific environmental influences, rather an individual response to certain environmental conditions. Risk for depression is two times greater in women than in men, and there is strong evidence to support shared genetic vulnerability between depression and anxiety and substance use disorders, not schizophrenia.
