You are participating as a speaker in a public workshop on the topic of promoting mental health in young and middle-aged adults. You tell the audience that age, unemployment, and lower education are risk factors associated with mental illness.

  B) Of course not, we live in a rural small town, and these statistics are primarily based on people who live in large cities.
  C) Yes, I am afraid so; however, with early detection we can prevent the mental illness from worsening.
  D) It probably does, but we have developed advanced medications that successfully treat mental illness.

Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

C
There is little evidence supporting the long-term use of prescription medications in insomnia. However, persons receiving benzodiazepines reported more daytime sleepiness and dizziness than those given a placebo in one research study. Zolpidem and zaleplon may have somewhat fewer side effects, but there is still little evidence for long-term use.
