    Negative symptoms of schizophrenia include all of the following except:

    • Flat affect

    • Avolition

    • Social withdrawal

    • Delusions

    Correct Answer
    A. Delusions
    Explanation
    Negative symptoms of schizophrenia refer to the absence or reduction of normal behaviors or emotions. These symptoms can include flat affect (lack of emotional expression), avolition (lack of motivation or goal-directed behavior), and social withdrawal (avoidance of social interactions). Delusions, on the other hand, are considered positive symptoms of schizophrenia, characterized by false beliefs or ideas that are not based in reality. Therefore, delusions do not fall under the category of negative symptoms.

    Mixed features are characterized by:

    • At least two anxiety symptoms

    • At least three symptoms from the opposite mood episode

    • Psychotic and mood symptoms

    • C or D

    Correct Answer
    A. At least three symptoms from the opposite mood episode
    Explanation
    Mixed features in mental health disorders refer to the presence of symptoms from both depressive and manic/hypomanic episodes. In this context, the correct answer states that mixed features are characterized by at least three symptoms from the opposite mood episode. This means that individuals experiencing a depressive episode may also exhibit symptoms typically associated with mania/hypomania, and vice versa. These mixed features can complicate the diagnosis and treatment of mood disorders, as they require careful assessment and management.

    In Bipolar I disorder, you have to have a history of a:

    • Manic episode

    • Hypomanic Episode

    • Depressive Episode

    • All of the above

    • A or B

    Correct Answer
    A. Manic episode
    Explanation
    In Bipolar I disorder, a manic episode is a necessary criterion. This means that individuals with this disorder must have experienced at least one episode of mania. A manic episode is characterized by an elevated or irritable mood, increased energy, decreased need for sleep, racing thoughts, and reckless behavior. It is a distinct period of abnormally and persistently elevated, expansive, or irritable mood and increased goal-directed activity or energy. Hypomanic episodes and depressive episodes are not required for a diagnosis of Bipolar I disorder, although they may occur in some individuals with this condition.
