Answer to Question 1

A, B, C

Adults using these drugs should have physical causes for their depression ruled out before therapy is begun. Thyroid disease, hormonal imbalance, and cardiovascular disorders can all lead to the signs and symptoms of depression. There is no indication that Parkinson's disease or diabetes is manifested by depression.

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. Pharmacoeconomics includes the costs involved in drug therapy.
