Answer to Question 1

A, B, E, F
Suicide, self-injury, positive (growth promoting) risk taking, and self-enhancement are behaviors in the continuum of self-protective responses.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, E, F
Research has indicated that electroconvulsive therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, vagal stimulation, and physical exercise can all be effective in reducing depression. However, light therapy is established as effective only for seasonal variants of depression, and St. John's Wort has not clearly been established as effective for major depression (it also has side effects, is not FDA regulated, and comes in nonstandard preparations that make consistent dosing difficult).
