Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Depression can be difficult to identify and differentiate from other disorders. Young children and adolescents often have difficulties expressing themselves and their feelings, and their depression can go unnoticed. Many adolescents are sometimes sad, moody, and withdrawn, and family caregivers may be unable to differentiate typical adolescent moods from clinical depression. The primary clue is a marked change in behavior.

Answer to Question 2

A
