Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lucy's feelings of worthlessness and sadness are affective symptoms of depression. The fact that she has crying spells that are not tied to any particular event also suggests that these symptoms are not simply a reaction to a specific situation or stressor. The other options (behavioral symptoms of depression, cognitive symptoms of mania, physiological symptoms of depression) do not fully capture Lucy's symptoms as described.
