Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jenna's behavior of shopping on a high and then crashing into depression is consistent with the symptoms of bipolar disorder, which is characterized by periods of mania (exhilarating highs) and periods of depression. This is different from obsessive-compulsive disorder, which is characterized by persistent, unwanted thoughts and/or repetitive behaviors. While depression is a symptom of bipolar disorder, Jenna's behavior suggests a cycling of highs and lows rather than a persistent low mood, which is more characteristic of depressive disorders. Anxiety is not specifically mentioned as a factor in Jenna's behavior.
