or other important areas of functioning.

C. The episode is not attributable to the physiological effects of a substance or to
another

medical condition.

schizoaffective

disorder, schizophrenia, schizophreniform disorder, delusional disorder, or

other specified and unspecified schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic
disorders.

Note: This exclusion does not apply if all of the manic-like or hypomanic-like
episodes

medical

condition.



MOOD D/O: MDD PREVALENCE - Twelve-month prevalence of major depressive
disorder in the United States is approximately

,ANCC PMHNP BOARD EXAM questions
and answers 2024
7%, with marked differences by age group such that the prevalence in 18- to 29-
year-old individuals

is threefold higher than the prevalence in individuals age 60 years or older.
Females experience

1.5- to 3-fold higher rates than males beginning in early adolescence.



MOOD D/O: MDD DEVELOPMENT AND COURSE - -Recovery typically begins within
3 months of onset for two in five individuals with major

depression and within 1 year for four in five individuals.

-The risk is higher in individuals whose preceding episode was severe,

in younger individuals, and in individuals who have already experienced multiple
episodes.

-The persistence of even mild depressive symptoms during remission is a powerful

predictor of recurrence.

of diverse types, constitute a set of potent risk factors for major depressive
disorder.

-Stressful life events are well recognized as precipitants of major depressive
episodes,but the presence or absence of adverse life events near the onset of
episodes does not appear to provide a useful guide to prognosis or treatment
selection.

-First-degree family members of individuals with major depressive disorder have a
risk for major depressive disorder two- to fourfold higher than that of the general
population.

-Relative risks appear to be higher for early-onset and recurrent forms. Heritability
is approximately 40%, and the personality trait neuroticism accounts

for a substantial portion of this genetic liability.



MOOD D/O: PDD (DYSTHYMIA) DSM5 CRITERIA - Depressed mood for most of the
day, for more days than not, as indicated by either

subjective account or observation by others, for at least 2 years.

Note: In children and adolescents, mood can be irritable and duration must be at
