A patient with depression tells the nurse, I don't think I want to take that SSRI medication the doctor told me she would prescribe. I don't understand what it will do. Which of the following would be the most helpful response?
 
  1. Medications help your brain; they don't mess things up.
  2. The medication will correct a deficiency of one of the chemicals needed to maintain a normal mood.
  3. SSRIs are a new classification of drugs that are getting good results while hav-ing very few unpleasant side effects.
  4. What is it you are afraid of?
