other specified and unspecified schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders.
E. There has never been a manic episode or a hypomanic episode.

, MOOD D/O: MDD PREVALENCE - Correct Answers: Twelve-month prevalence of major depressive
disorder in the United States is approximately
7%, with marked differences by age group such that the prevalence in 18- to 29-year-old individuals
is threefold higher than the prevalence in individuals age 60 years or older. Females experience
1.5- to 3-fold higher rates than males beginning in early adolescence.
MOOD D/O: MDD DEVELOPMENT AND COURSE - Correct Answers: -Recovery typically begins within 3
months of onset for two in five individuals with major
depression and within 1 year for four in five individuals.
-The risk is higher in individuals whose preceding episode was severe,
in younger individuals, and in individuals who have already experienced multiple episodes.
-The persistence of even mild depressive symptoms during remission is a powerful
predictor of recurrence.
MOOD D/O: MDD RISK FACTORS - Correct Answers: -Neuroticism (negative affectivity) is a well-
established risk factor for the
onset of major depressive disorder
-Adverse childhood experiences, particularly when there are multiple experiences of diverse types,
constitute a set of potent risk factors for major depressive disorder.
-Stressful life events are well recognized as precipitants of major depressive episodes,but the presence
or absence of adverse life events near the onset of episodes does not appear to provide a useful guide
to prognosis or treatment selection.
-First-degree family members of individuals with major depressive disorder have a risk for major
depressive disorder two- to fourfold higher than that of the general population.
-Relative risks appear to be higher for early-onset and recurrent forms. Heritability is approximately
40%, and the personality trait neuroticism accounts
for a substantial portion of this genetic liability.
MOOD D/O: PDD (DYSTHYMIA) DSM5 CRITERIA - Correct Answers: Depressed mood for most of the day,
for more days than not, as indicated by either
subjective account or observation by others, for at least 2 years.
Note: In children and adolescents, mood can be irritable and duration must be at least
