Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Phobias are irrational fears that may lead a person to avoid certain objects,
events, or situations.
B Panic disorders include episodes of intense apprehension, fear, and terror.
Symptoms may manifest themselves as palpitations, chest pain, choking, or
smothering.
C In PTSD, women perceive childbirth as a traumatic event. They have nightmares
and flashbacks about the event, anxiety, and avoidance of reminders of the
traumatic event.
D OCD symptoms include recurrent, persistent, and intrusive thoughts. The mother
may repeatedly check and recheck her infant once he or she is born, even though
she realizes that this is irrational. OCD is best treated with medications.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback
A Depressive symptoms during pregnancy or previous ppd are strong predictors for
subsequent episodes of PPD.
B Single-mother status is a small-relation predictor for PPD.
C Low socioeconomic status is a small-relation predictor for PPD.
D An unwanted pregnancy may contribute to the risk for PPD; however, it does not
pose as great an effect as prenatal depression.
