Answer to Question 1

C
After several weeks of antidepressant therapy, a cheerful new energy is most predictive of suicide in clients who have been diagnosed with depression. During depression, these individuals lacked the energy to commit suicide. However after treatment, they have the energy to complete a suicide. Warning signs include the giving away of personal items.

Answer to Question 2

C
Atypical antipsychotic agents are more effective than stimulants in treating aggression in children and conduct disorders in adolescents. The remaining options are not known to be effective for this condition.
