Answer to Question 1

A
A 2-week (or longer) episode of depressed or irritable mood in addition to disturbances in appetite, sleep, energy, or self-esteem meets the criteria for a major depressive disorder. A dysthymic disorder is associated with a depressed or irritable mood for at least a year. A cyclothymic or bipolar mood disorder is characterized by chronic, fluctuating mood disturbances between depressive lows and highs for a year. A panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder.

The infant's care should be coordinated to limit the number of times the infant is disturbed. Light levels should be maintained at the minimum necessary level. Sound levels should be kept to the minimum necessary level. Comfort measures should be provided immediately when the infant exhibits irritability.
