Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 5
Explanation: Psychosocial factors that interact with biology and create recurrences of bipolar illness include stressful life events, disruption in social rhythms, and medication nonadherence. Other factors that may aid in mood disturbance persistence include lack of social supports (including having someone to talk with), poor family functioning, and functional impairment.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: The diathesis-stress model postulates that patients inherit tendencies to express certain traits or behaviors dependent on exposure to certain conditions or stressors. Under the right condition and/or stressor, neurochemical imbalances are activated or exacerbated in susceptible individuals. Research suggests that genetics and environment combine to play a role in the development of depression. The neuroendocrine model states that in response to stress, several neuromodulating hormones are released.
