Answer to Question 1

A, B, C

Adults using these drugs should have physical causes for their depression ruled out before therapy is begun.

Pharmacogenomics is the area of study that includes mapping of the human genome. In the future, medical care and drug regimens may be personally designed based on a patient's unique genetic make-up. Pharmacotherapeutic s is the branch of pharmacology that deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose disease. Pharmacodynamics involves how a drug affects the body.
