Answer to Question 1

C
Most antidepressants affect the levels of norepinephrine or serotonin neurotransmitters. Some affect both; others affect the levels of one or the other. For example, SSRIs have negligible effects on norepinephrine neurotransmitters but are specific moderators of brain serotonin levels.

Answer to Question 2

B
The regulations do include a provision for client consent to release medical information and a separate client authorization to release psychotherapy notes. Originally, the rules required separate forms for consent to release information for treatment, payment, or peer review and for authorization to release information for all other disclosures, including for client records to be disclosed to the client's attorney.
