1. If an individual has two disorders that cannot be distinguished by history and seemingly occur at the same time, it is said that the person's disorders are comorbid. 2. A bucket brimming with and overflowing water is an analogy most associated with the diathesis-stress theory of the depression-substance abuse link. 3. What are two characteristic features of antisocial personality disorder that increase the risk for this population developing substance abuse problems? 4. Brian is a twenty-year-old European American man who was self-referred to therapy. He indicated that his main symptoms revolved around chronic feelings of sadness and a loss of pleasure in activities that he once found pleasurable. He also noted that he engaged in substance abuse because he needed some motivation to sustain progress at work. This example reflects the self-medication hypothesis as a theoretical connection between his depression and substance abuse. 5. Elmo is a 16-year-old European American male. He was arrested for injecting himself with and selling heroin to other minors after school on school property. This is the first time he has tried to sell drugs and is not known as a troublemaker in school. Based on this information alone, what diagnosis would fit Elmo best?
