The client has been diagnosed with a depressive disorder. Which statement by the client indicates an understanding of this disorder?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: With this disorder, I will not experience mania. This statement indicates an understanding of depressive disorder as distinct from bipolar disorder, where individuals experience both depressive and manic episodes. Mania is not a characteristic of depressive disorder, which is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest. Choices A, D, and C are incorrect because they either imply a misunderstanding of the disorder (A, D) or provide inaccurate information (C).
