Answer to Question 1

B
Most patients with depression are treated as outpatients; however, when a person has suicidal thoughts (also called suicidal ideation) and particularly if the person has a suicide plan, hospita-lization may be required.

Answer to Question 2

A
Bipolar disorder, also called manic-depression, is characterized by cycling moods from severe highs (mania) and severe lows (depression). Increased risk for suicide and lack of pleasure in life are characteristics of major depression. Persistently low moods are characteristic of both major depression and dysthymia.
