Some specific questions
If MDD is present for two years, will it be considered as dysthymia or just MDD for two
years?
No, dysthymia is a milder form of depression, so it is not the same as MDD for two years.
Medication for depression
Try to remember groups instead of specific kinds of medication. Only questions on TCA and
SSRI will be asked.
Medication for BD
- mood stabilizers (lithium)
- antipsychotics (olanzapine)
- antidepressants (same as for depression)
