Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Depression-prone adolescents have a tendency to attribute failures to their own inadequacies, which increases their risk for depression. A, B, and C are incorrect because depression is associated with lower levels of norepinephrine and serotonin, affects both boys and girls equally, and is typically triggered by a negative life event or circumstance.
