Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Repeated interactions with depressed individuals can lead to the other person providing negative feedback, as the depressed person tends to focus on negative aspects and require a lot of emotional support. This can lead to frustration and burnout in the other person, causing them to become less supportive and more critical. Therefore, option B is the best answer. Option A is incorrect because longer interactions are not necessarily a result of interacting with depressed individuals. Option C is unlikely as the depressive symptoms tend to persist unless treated. Option D is not possible since efforts to reduce depression in the conversation would lead to more positive interactions.
