参考答案：B
解析：In adolescents, depression typically manifests as truancy, a change of friends, social withdrawal, and oppositional behavior. In adults, it usually produces helplessness, hopelessness, hypersomnolence, and anorexia. Drug use may lead to curfew breaking, stealing, truancy, and oppositional behavior. It’s normal for adolescents to display hypersomnolence, an obsession with body image, and valuing of peers’ opinions.
