Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

C
There is some evidence that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have a decreased risk of provoking switching. Switching from depression to mania may often be provoked by antidepressant medication, especially tricyclics. St. John's wort (an over-the-counter medication), which is unregulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has been reported to provoke switching in some individuals who use it to treat depressive episodes.
