Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Depression can present in a variety of ways, and the cluster of symptoms can vary markedly from one individual to the next. For example, depression may cause severe sleep disturbance for one individual and hypersomnia in another. Some individuals with depression complain of weight gain, whereas others lose weight because they find it hard to eat. Avolition is a common presenting feature in depression, but some individuals experience restlessness and agitation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
While separation anxiety has historically (through DSM-IV) been classified in the section Disorders Usually First Diagnosed in Infancy, Childhood, or Adolescence, it is now classified as an anxiety disorder, recognizing the expression of anxiety symptoms in adulthood. Previously, the diagnostic criteria included onset before age 18; however, a substantial number of adults report onset of separation anxiety after age 18. For example, attachment figures may include the children of adults with separation anxiety disorder, and avoidance behaviors may occur in the workplace as well as at school. A duration of 6 months is required to minimize overdiagnosis of transient fears (e.g., when a new parent returns to work and places an infant in the care of another).
