Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: Over 50 of the total population of adolescents experience some form of mental illness. The most common reason for adolescents receiving services was feeling depressed. Of those adolescents who had a major depressive episode, 34.0 used illicit drugs in the past year. Women are more likely than men to experience mental illness.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 2, 4, 5
Explanation: Research has shown that brain chemicals and processes (biochemistry) are frequently altered in mental disorders. While mother-child interactions are important in mental health, current theory and research emphasize a more biological and societal definition. Contemporary diagnostic testing has demonstrated some structural differences of the brain in persons who have mental disorders. Behavior may be considered part of a mental disorder in one culture, but perfectly normal and acceptable in another. The appropriateness of behavior is judged against what is considered normal or appropriate to both social conditions as well as laws defining standards for behavior in a given society.
