when distinguish between... is used, then the idiom is bet'n A and B.
distinguish A from B is also correct. we should use carefully.
D. between mood swings, perhaps violent without being grounded in mental disease, from genuine manic-depressive psychosis
E. genuine manic-depressive psychosis

Can some one explain why A is wrong?
distinguish between X & Y (when X & Y are different things)
distinguish X from Y ( when X & Y are thought to be similar or actually similar)
I felt that mood swings and psychosis were thought to be similar and Dr Payne explained that they are different now
What does the OG explanation say?

I think A is ok. "Their" reffers to mood swings. In D we have "between ... from" which is wrong.

OA is C Anyhow, I dont know the difference between A&C as well. PS From SC-MGMAT we can see both "distinguish between X and Y" and "distinguish X from Y"
