Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Features of physical dependence, such as tolerance and withdrawal, can be normal responses to prescribed medications that affect the central nervous system and needs to be differentiated from addiction. Moreover, although marijuana abuse can be functionally very impairing, physical dependence is not part of the clinical picture. These mental and behavioral aspects are more specific to substance use disorders than the physical domains of tolerance and withdrawal, which are not unique to addiction (Stetka & Correll, 2013).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Bipolar II disorder is determined when the clinical course includes one or more major depressive episodes and at least one hypomanic episode. The symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning (APA, 2013). To meet the bipolar II criteria, the individual has not experienced a manic or mixed episode.
