Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback: Depression can be endogenous, with no external cause or event. Clients must understand that depression is an illness, not a lack of willpower or motivation. Major depression typically involves 2 or more weeks of a sad mood or lack of interest in life activities with at least four other symptoms of depression.
