Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
As with all mental health symptoms, the first step in the differential diagnosis is to rule out any general medical condition (Box 17.6) or medication use as the physiological cause of the anxiety. A substantial body of research conducted over the last two decades points to the importance of anxiety as relevant to prognosis and treatment decision-making.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Drugs That Can Cause Depression
 Antihypertensives (reserpine, propranolol, methyldopa, guanethidine monosulfate, and clonidine hydrochloride)
 Corticosteroids and hormones (cortisone acetate, estrogen, and progesterone)
 Antiparkinsonian drugs (levodopa and carbidopa, amantadine hydrochloride)
 Antianxiety drugs (diazepam, chlordiazepoxide)
 Accutane
 Birth control pills
