Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The major affective disorders are a group of psychiatric conditions that primarily affect mood, such as depression and bipolar disorder. They are also known as mood disorders, making option B the correct answer. Anxiety disorders (option A), addictive disorders (option C), and schizoaffective disorders (option D) are not classified as affective disorders. Manic-depressive disorder is an older term for bipolar disorder, which is a type of affective disorder, so option E is partially correct but not the best choice as it is not the current terminology.
