Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

B
Individuals with a psychiatric diagnosis are at increased risk for suicide. An early Swedish study found that 93 of persons who completed suicide had previously received some kind of psychiatric diagnosis. Most studies suggest that depression is commonly associated with both completed suicides and suicide attempts. Psychiatric conditions that have high incidence of suicide include depression (both uipolar and bipolar), schizophrenia, alcoholism, drug abuse, panic disorder, personality disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
