Ans:
A

Feedback:

SSRIs are common pharmacologic treatment modalities for depression. Drugs that inhibit the accumulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) (answer B) are usually used in the treatment of bipolar depression. Benzodiazepines address anxiety, while cholinesterase inhibitors are used in the treatment of dementia. Antipsychotics are more often used in cases of schizophrenia.
