    Does anyone know what type of question they can ask on risk factors in developing addictions? Would it be like one or more factors?

    They can ask you anything, e.g. one factor, one or more factors, usually with a passage about a person and you have to use your knowledge on risk factors to apply it to the situation. Or they can just say outline for example stress as a risk factor.
    So make sure you know them ALL.

    does anyone think issues/debates for the classification of depression will come up as a 24 marker?
