Question

Which of the following is NOT one of the nine symptoms of depression:__________.

a. dysphoric mood, anhedonia, significant weight loss/gain,
b. insomnia or hypersomnia, feelings of worthlesness or inappropriate guilt,
c. diminished ability to think/concentrate, unusual motor behavior (i.e. catatonia),
d. recurrent thoughts of death or suicidal ideation

Answer 1

Answer:

c. diminished ability to think/concentrate, unusual motor behavior (i.e. catatonia)

Explanation:

This is not a symptom of depression among the nine prominent symptoms since thinking process or concentration is normal or high in depression since the human mind is too preoccupied. A person suffering from depression does not commit unusual motor behavior such as catatonia since this is the symptom normally found in persons suffering from schizophrenia.
