Question 1

The potential side effects of ________ include psychomotor retardation,dry mouth,constipation,blurred vision,urinary retention,confusion,delirium,and cardiovascular complications.

Accepted Answer

Tricyclic antidepressants have been known to cause the potential side effects listed, including cardiovascular complications. Prozac (B) and Wellbutrin (C) may have side effects such as headache, nausea, and insomnia but do not typically cause the more serious side effects listed. Lithium (D) is not an antidepressant; it is generally used to treat bipolar disorder and can cause side effects such as thirst, weight gain, and tremors.

Question 2

Prozac relieves depression primarily by raising levels of ________ in the brain.

Accepted Answer

Prozac is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), which means it works by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is responsible for regulating mood, sleep, appetite, and other bodily functions. By increasing the levels of serotonin, Prozac helps alleviate symptoms of depression.

Question 3

Prozac and Zoloft are ________ toxic and have ________ side effects than MAO inhibitors and tricyclics.

Accepted Answer

Prozac and Zoloft are considered less toxic and have fewer side effects than MAO inhibitors and tricyclics.

Question 4

A review of drug withdrawal studies indicates that up to ________ % of depressed persons relapse when withdrawn from antidepressant medication within two months of a treatment response.

Accepted Answer

The review indicates that up to 75% of depressed persons relapse when withdrawn from antidepressant medication within two months of a treatment response.

Question 5

Cognitive therapists assist clients in connecting thought patterns to negative moods by having them monitor the _______________they experience throughout the day by means of a thought diary or daily record.

Accepted Answer

Cognitive therapists focus on identifying and addressing automatic negative thoughts (ANTs), which are spontaneously occurring, often irrational thoughts that can lead to negative emotions and behaviors.

Question 6

The most common biological approaches to the treatment of mood disorders involve each of the following EXCEPT ________.

Accepted Answer

Prefrontal lobotomy is not a common biological approach to the treatment of mood disorders. It was used in the past as a form of brain surgery to treat severe mental disorders, but it is now discontinued due to the side effects and ethical concerns. The other options listed (antidepressant drugs, lithium, and electroconvulsive therapy) are all commonly used biological interventions for mood disorders.

Question 7

The therapist who uses the behavioural approach would believe that depressive behaviours can be ___________.

Accepted Answer

The behavioural approach believes that behaviours are learned and can therefore be unlearned. In the case of depression, the therapist would focus on identifying and modifying negative behaviours and reinforcing positive ones. Repressed emotions, certain thinking styles, and talking are more aligned with psychodynamic, cognitive, and humanistic approaches, respectively.

Question 8

MAO inhibitors interfere with the action of ________.

Accepted Answer

MAO inhibitors interfere with the action of monoamine oxidase, which is an enzyme involved in the breakdown of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. By inhibiting this enzyme, MAO inhibitors increase the levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain, which can have therapeutic effects for certain conditions such as depression and anxiety.

Question 9

Each of the following is a side effect of tricyclics EXCEPT ________.

Accepted Answer

Tricyclics can cause blurred vision, constipation, dry mouth, and many other side effects. However, sexual hyperstimulation is not a typical side effect of tricyclics.

Question 10

Segal suggests that ________-based cognitive therapy is a particularly useful way of preventing relapse,regardless of whether the patient's depression was first treated with either medication or psychotherapy.

Accepted Answer

Segal suggests that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is particularly useful for preventing relapse regardless of which initial treatment the patient received. Medication and psychotherapy are not relevant options for this question. Operant and re-education therapies are not mentioned by Segal as useful for preventing depression relapse.

Question 11

Which of the following drugs (or drug groups)is NOT generally used to treat depression?

Accepted Answer

Lithium is a drug often used to treat bipolar disorder, but is not typically used as a first-line treatment for depression. The other options (MAO inhibitors, serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and tricyclics) are all commonly used to treat depression.

Question 12

Annette is encouraged to note when and where she has negative thoughts and how she feels at the time.Her therapist notes that Annette has a habit of resorting to selective abstraction.Annette's tendency is a type of __________.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Annette is encouraged to note when and...

Question 13

Cognitive psychologists focus on helping depressed patients ________.

Accepted Answer

Cognitive psychologists focus on changing the negative, distorted, or unrealistic thought patterns that contribute to depression. This is achieved through cognitive restructuring, which involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and replacing them with more positive and realistic ones.

Question 14

Applied behavioural analysis is also know as ___________.

Accepted Answer

Applied behavioural analysis (ABA) is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior, and it is closely related to behavioral activation, which involves using principles of behavior change to increase engagement in positive activities.

Question 15

Brent participates in applied behavioural analysis group therapy.He will likely be involved in all of the following EXCEPT __________.

Accepted Answer

Self-attribution training is not typically a component of applied behavioral analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA focuses on understanding and modifying observable behaviors through reinforcement strategies, rather than on changing the way individuals attribute causes to their behaviors or successes, which is what self-attribution training involves.

Question 16

Chantal participates in a group therapy program for her depression.The program is based in a behavioural approach and would therefore likely involve of the following EXCEPT __________.

Accepted Answer

The behavioural approach focuses on changing behaviours rather than exploring underlying emotions or conflicts. Therefore, identifying areas of conflict in relationships would not be a main focus of the therapy program. Instead, the program would likely involve relaxation training, building social skills, and creating a self-change plan.

Question 17

Cognitive therapy,________ behavioural therapy,entails a(n)________ therapy format.

Accepted Answer

Cognitive therapy and behavioural therapy are two different approaches to therapy. Cognitive therapy is focused on identifying and changing negative thoughts and beliefs, while behavioural therapy is focused on changing patterns of behaviour. The two therapies can be used together in a brief therapy format, as both are goal-oriented and focused on specific problems. Therefore, the best choice is A, which states that cognitive therapy, like behavioural therapy, entails a brief therapy format.

Question 18

The potential side effects of ________ include psychomotor retardation,dry mouth,constipation,blurred vision,urinary retention,confusion,delirium,and cardiovascular complications.

Accepted Answer

The potential side effects listed are commonly associated with MAO inhibitors. Fluoxetine and Wellbutrin may have some similar side effects, but not all of those listed. Lithium's side effects differ from those listed, and are mainly related to kidney and thyroid function.

Question 19

Tricyclic antidepressants work by interfering with the reuptake of ________.

Accepted Answer

Tricyclic antidepressants work by interfering with the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin in the brain, leading to an increase in their levels and a reduction in depressive symptoms.

Question 20

The potential side effects of ________ include upset stomach,headaches,agitation,insomnia,and sexual problems such as delayed orgasm and lack of sexual drive.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The potential side effects of ________ include...
