A grandmother reports that her grandson has been taking an SSRI for the past month, along with St. John's Wort. The grandmother states that there have been no changes in the adolescent's behavior.
 
  She is concerned that the medications are just for junkies.. The mental health nurse knows that: 1. St. John's Wort can cause serotonin syndrome, so no benefit may occur.
   2. The SSRI is probably the wrong medication for the adolescent.
   3. The adolescent is exhibiting serotonin discontinuation syndrome
   4. The SSRI needs to be stopped immediately because it is causing the adolescent more harm.
