Correct! If a person is experiencing a mood episode, they most likely have Bipolar Disorder.
To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the other options:
A. PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is not characterized by mood episodes, but rather by symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional distress related to a traumatic event.
B. GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) is not characterized by mood episodes either. It is marked by excessive and persistent worry and anxiety about various aspects of life.
D. Panic Disorder is also not characterized by mood episodes. It is characterized by recurrent and unexpected panic attacks, which are sudden episodes of intense fear or discomfort.
Therefore, based on this process of elimination, the correct answer is C. Bipolar Disorder, which is a mental health condition in which individuals experience periods of depression (low mood) and periods of mania or hypomania (elevated mood).
