Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Problems in the temporal lobe can lead to visual or auditory hallucinations, aphasia, and amnesia. When normal frontal lobe functioning is altered, destabilization of emotions, a loss of impulse control, and personality changes occur. Problems associated with the occipital region include visual field deficits, blindness, and visual hallucinations. The inability to recognize objects by touch or recognize parts of one's own body, and problems calculating, writing, and drawing suggest problems in the parietal lobe.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: SSRIs are the most commonly prescribed medication for depression. Although SSRIs may be prescribed for bipolar disorder, they are usually given in conjunction with other medications. Antipsychotic medications are the standard treatment for schizophrenia. Sexual dysfunction may be a side effect of SSRIs, but it is not the reason they are prescribed.
