When a client is diagnosed with a disorder that contains a “Mixed Episode” specifier, what does Mixed Episode usually indicate?
  1. That there is more than one condition at play
  2. That the episode had at least two distinctive phases
  3. That the recovery time was much faster than for other disorders
  4. The therapist cannot decide which classification holds more to the situation
Explanation
Answer - B - There is only one condition and recovery times are not dependent necessarily on the division of episodic criteria. However, there are at least two distinctive phases. For example, in Bipolar Disorder, you must specify whether the most recent episode is Manic or Depressive.
