Explanation / Answer

16.People with depression eat more or less than usual and sleep more or less than usual. 17.Imaginal exposure is often a part of behavioural treatment for PTSD. In imaginal exposure, a client is asked to imagine feared images or situations.Imaginal exposure can help a person directly confront feared thoughts and memories. Imaginal exposure may also be used when it is not possible or safe for a person to directly confront a feared situation. For example, it would not be safe to have a combat veteran with PTSD directly confront a combat situation again.Therefore, he may be asked to imagine a feared combat situation that he experienced. 18.Persistent depressive disorder-PDD is characterized by depressed mood experienced most of the time for at least two years. In children and adolescents, mood can be irritable rather than depressed. In addition to depression or irritable mood, at least two of the following must be present: insomnia or excessive sleep, low energy or fatigue, low self-esteem, poor appetite or overeating, poor concentration or indecisiveness, and feelings of hopelessness.It is less severe than major depressive disorder. 19.When a person stops enjoying things it is called anhedonia.People who experience anhedonia have lost interest in activities they used to enjoy and have a decreased ability to feel pleasure.
