Answer to Question 1

ANS: D, E
Dopamine plays a role in the integration of thoughts and emotions, and excess dopamine is implicated in the thought disturbances of schizophrenia. Increased activity of norepinephrine also occurs. Substance P is most related to the pain experience. Histamine decrease is associated with depression. Increased GABA is associated with anxiety reduction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Patients taking phenelzine, an MAOI, must be on a tyramine-free diet to prevent hypertensive crisis.
