Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Finally, the depressive symptoms associated with bereavement-related depression respond to the same psychosocial and medication treatments as non-bereavement-related depression. Most people experiencing the loss of a loved one experience bereavement without developing a major depressive episode. However, separation or loss of a loved one is a major stressor that can precipitate a major depressive episode.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Clinical depression often involves recurrent thoughts of death, recurrent suicidal ideation without a specific plan, or a suicidal attempt or a specific plan for committing suicide.
