Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Delusions that are mood-congruent, meaning they align with the individual's depressed mood, are typical of depressive delusions. Kerry's delusions fit this description, as they are about brain deterioration and aging quickly, which may align with feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness commonly experienced in depression. The other options are less likely because Kerry does not exhibit other typical signs of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, and there is no evidence to suggest his delusions will persist after the depression remits.
