Answer to Question 1

B
Behavioral activation, a common side effect of SSRI therapy, is demonstrated by motor restlessness, insomnia, hypomania, and disinhibition. Suicidal thoughts and planning are thought to be associated with behavioral activation, so individuals should be monitored closely as depression lifts. The other drug side effects are associated with typical antipsychotics and tricyclic antidepressants.

Answer to Question 2

A
The individual with a dependent personality disorder has a pervasive and excessive need to be taken care of, which leads to submissive and clinging behaviors. The other options are characteristic of individuals with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, and paranoid personality disorder.
