Answer to Question 1

C
Marital therapy is relevant to the treatment of depression because marital distress is common and often includes at least one depressed spouse. Studies suggest that relapses of depression are often preceded by marital discord. Behavioral marital therapy focuses on enhancing behaviors that are supportive of healthy marital relationships.

Answer to Question 2

A
Currently clients with depression are more likely to be diagnosed with depression and offered treatment than in the 1980s. Significant progress has been made in managing depression, but much more remains to be done. Current treatments include psychotherapy, somatic or physical therapies, and medications.
