The spouse of a patient with major depressive disorder tells a nurse, I feel hopeless about my spouse's condition. It's not like a physical illness that he can recover from.. Which response will best reassure the spouse?
 
  a. That's not true. People with mental illness get well more than 90 of the time..
  b. While your concerns about your spouse's recovery are understandable, great strides have been made with the use of new antidepressants..
  c. It's not right to try to make comparisons between the effectiveness of treatment of mental and physical illnesses. It's like comparing apples and oranges..
  d. New studies show that treatment of depression is effective 65 to 80 of the time, whereas treatments for heart disease and cancer are often only 40 effective..
