Question: 1 / 400

What differentiates exogenous depression from endogenous depression?

Its genetic or biological nature

Exogenous depression is typically defined as depression that is caused by external factors such as stressors, whereas endogenous depression is considered to have a genetic or biological origin. This means that the other options, including duration, symptoms, and treatment methods, do not differentiate between the two types of depression as they can vary for both exogenous and endogenous depression. Although the duration may potentially be longer or treatment methods may differ, it is not a defining characteristic in distinguishing between exogenous and endogenous depression. Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it accurately explains the defining difference between exogenous and endogenous depression.
