Answer to Question 1

B
Follow-up for more than 2 decades has shown that about 25 of the Buffalo Creek survivors still have significant post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Overall the severity of symptoms has been decreasing for most of the survivor cohort. Follow-up of child Buffalo Creek survivors has found a steady decrease in symptomatology with PTSD diagnosed in 7 of persons up to 17 years after the original event.

Answer to Question 2

A
Prolonged mood depression in a very young child can have a profound effect on self-image. The child who is depressed may feel the same feelings of worthlessness, helplessness, and hopelessness experienced by the adult with depression. Children with dysthymia can be depressed for 3 or 4 years.
