Answer 6 - Cyclothymia
Cyclothymia is not as extreme as bipolar disorder. Cyclothymia is also a mood disorder but it is relatively milder than bipolar disorder. The only difference in both bipolar disorder and cyclothymia is that unlike bipolar disorder, individuals suffering from cyclothymia do not experience full-blown manic and depressive episodes.
Why other options are incorrect
Mania - The term 'mania' is used to describe an extremely elevated mood.
Dysthymia - Dysthymia is another name for Persistent Depressive disorder. It is characterised as a chronic form of depression but is relatively milder than major depression.
Melancholia - The term 'melancholia' is used to describe the condition of severe depression.
Answer 7 - Bipolar 2 but not bipolar 1
Difference between bipolar 1 and bipolar 2
Bipolar 1 - Individuals who are diagnosed with this type of disorder experience at least one full episode of mania and a milder form of a depressive episode.
Bipolar 2 - Individuals who are diagnosed with this type of disorder experience at least one major episode of depression and a milder form of a manic episode.
Why cyclothymia is an incorrect option.
Cyclothymia does not involve a major form of depression and mania. It is relatively milder than bipolar disorder.
Answer 8 - both classical conditioning and operant conditioning are important
The relation between classical conditioning and anxiety - Classical conditioning involves paired association. So, when an unconditional stimulus (which evokes an unconditional response in the form of anxiety) is paired with a neutral stimulus. The neutral stimulus becomes conditioned through association and evokes the same response as that of the unconditional one. The unconditional response becomes a conditional response. Both elicit the same response (anxiety)
Operant conditioning occurs through reinforcements and punishment. The purpose of operant conditioning is to either strengthen a particular behavior or diminish the chances of a particular behavior occurring.
Anxiety is an unpleasant stimulus. When we use avoidance mechanism to cope with anxiety, we are negatively reinforcing our behavior. Negative reinforcement is the removal of an unpleasant stimulus.
Why other options are incorrect
Observational learning does not dominate as anxiety is not learnt through observation. It is a trait which is inherent.
Answer 9 - SSRIs
