A 25-year-old young woman is brought to the emergency department by the police after being found walking in traffic at a busy city intersection. The police place her on an involuntary commitment after she states that she was instructed to kill herself by accusatory, commanding voices. On examination the patient appears disheveled, with an indifferent and flat affect, and disorganized thought processes. She answers most questions monosyllabically. When questioned about experiencing auditory hallucinations she answers in the affirmative, but she is unable to articulate coherently the details of her experience. Throughout the examinations she appears intermittently distracted by internal stimuli; when asked what her experience is in the moment, she states: "They are talking to me." The patient's family reports that she became increasingly withdrawn after she moved away from home to attend graduate studies at a local university. The family reports that her academic performance in college was above average, but since starting university she has struggled to complete her school work. Since moving, she has also become more isolative: she made no new friends, stopped talking to her college friends, and maintained only sporadic contact with her family. The family was unaware of the patient experiencing any hallucinatory experiences. She had no past history of drug misuse and her urine toxicology screen was negative, effectively ruling out a drug-induced psychosis.
QUESTIONS:
1. What could have possibly triggered this young woman's episode?
2a. What are two differential or possible diagnoses for her?
2b. Briefly explain each of these possible diagnoses.
3. What are the evidences which have informed each of the two possible diagnoses you listed in #2?
4. What is this young woman's actual diagnoses, and explain possible treatment options

Mammals in general provide parental care for their young. This seems to imply that parents should be able to recognize their own young. Yet, for some mammals such as the wild mouse (Mus musculus), pup recognition by dams (mothers) does not occur (sires are not involved in parental care in mice). Dams will care for any pup that is available. In the lab, if a dam is placed in a cage with two or more litters of pups, she will gather them into one giant pile of pups and attempt to nurse, groom and care for all of them. An entire genetic litter can also be replaced by a new litter of entirely unrelated pups and the dam will adopt and care for them as if they were her own. In meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus), another common prairie rodent, pup recognition apparently does not occur until 7-9 days have passed. Prior to that time, dams will adopt any young that appear in their nest. Under what evolutionary conditions might non-recognition of offspring develop? Under what evolutionary conditions should recognition of young develop?

You are in a department store shopping for an outfit and your budget is not what you would like it to be. You have a pair of pants and two shirts that you absolutely love. You want both shirts but know you can't afford both, so you take them to the register to decide there. When you go to check out, you see it's one of your friends working there. You are casual friends and you haven't seen her in a while, and you didn't even know she worked there. You chat a bit and you ask her which of the shirts does she like best because you can't afford both of them. She ignores what you just said, rings up the pants, rings up one of the shirts, and places all three items into your bag. You pay your total, agree to meet up for lunch soon, and leave. .
Questions:
1. Did you commit theft, or did she commit theft or both of you?
2. Would it make a difference to you whether the shirt was $79 versus $17?
3. What if the scenario was the same, but you were at a restaurant and she was your server? When you got your ticket, you noticed you weren't charged for your drinks and your appetizers. Is that theft, or just a "hook up?"
4. Looking at every scenario, is there an instance where you would refuse the "free" gift? Why or why not?
