Answer to Question 1

C
Meditation, a relaxation technique, has been beneficial for generalized anxiety and panic disorder. It has been found to be helpful in reducing the severity and frequency of panic attacks and has improved anxiety and depression scores.

Answer to Question 2

D
Tricyclic and related antidepressants were the first antidepressants in clinical use. Even today, these drugs still have important roles in treating mood disorders. Despite the large variety of tricyclic drugs available, there are few differences between them.
