question 4 of 10
sometimes andrea is on top of the world. she can work all day and night, and she never seems to lose energy. but sometimes she is depressed and listless and can hardly get out of bed. she may be suffering from:

a. bipolar disorder.

b. schizophrenia.

c. major depression.

d. generalized anxiety disorder.

Explanation:

Bipolar disorder is characterized by extreme mood swings between manic (high - energy, elevated mood) and depressive (low - energy, depressed mood) states. Andrea shows periods of high energy (working all day and night) and periods of depression (listless, hard to get out of bed). Schizophrenia involves psychosis (hallucinations, delusions) not seen here. Major depression has only depressive symptoms, not manic episodes. Generalized anxiety disorder is about excessive worry, not mood swings. So the correct answer is A.

Answer:

A. bipolar disorder.
