Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Seasonal affective disorder is frequently experienced during the winter months. Obsessive-compulsive disorder involves doing certain tasks repetitively. Baby blues are associated with mothers who have recently had a baby. Bipolar disorder involves periods of mania and periods of depression.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: ADHD is generally diagnosed in childhood and in boys more frequently than in girls. Boys have more overt activity levels, where girls show less aggression but more social withdrawal. Periods of mania and periods of depression are more characteristic with bipolar disorder, not ADHD.
