Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since Gerard is experiencing both depressive symptoms and delusions, the most effective treatment option for him would be a combination of antidepressant and antipsychotic medications. Antidepressants help to alleviate symptoms of depression, while antipsychotics can help to manage delusions. Psychotherapy alone may not be sufficient in treating severe depression with delusions.
