Question

which is a typical warning sign of depression?
mental sharpness
interest in food
abnormally high energy
feelings of guilt or sadness

Explanation:

To determine a typical warning sign of depression, we analyze each option:

• "mental sharpness" is not a sign of depression; depression often causes cognitive difficulties.
• "interest in food" is inconsistent as depression can lead to changes (either increased or decreased) but not a typical warning sign in itself.
• "abnormally high energy" is more associated with mania (e.g., in bipolar disorder) rather than depression, where low energy is common.
• "feelings of guilt or sadness" are core symptoms of depression, with persistent sadness, feelings of worthlessness or guilt being typical warning signs.

Answer:

D. feelings of guilt or sadness (assuming the options are labeled A - D as per the order: mental sharpness (A), interest in food (B), abnormally high energy (C), feelings of guilt or sadness (D))
