Answer to Question 1

C
Recreational therapists help patients use leisure time to benefit their mental health. Occupational therapists assist with a broad range of skills, including those for employment. Psychologists conduct testing and provide other patient services. Social workers focus on the patient's support system.

Answer to Question 2

A
Antidepressant medication and other treatment do improve the features of depression. As the depression lifts, the patient regains more physical energy and more organizational ability at a time when he or she may still have suicidal ideation. Treatment does not involve confronting the patient about inadequacies. Severely depressed patients may not always be candid and can experience variations in their mood, but these factors are not the major issues likely to temporarily increase the risk of suicide as the patient begins to get better.
