  1. You really don't need these medications to control yourself.
  2. Many antidepressant medications are not effective with some people.
  3. Many antidepressant medications take 1 to 4 weeks before the effects are noticed.

Answer to Question 1

3
Antidepressants need 1-4 weeks before therapeutic blood levels are reached.

Answer to Question 2

B
Flooding introduces a phobic patient to the feared stimulus in increasingly large doses, and response prevention requires a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder to avoid performing the ritual that relieves anxiety. Both cause an initial rise in anxiety before the anxiety level is reduced. Relaxation training, meditation, and anxiolytics reduce anxiety without an initial anxiety increase. Modeling coping responses and cognitive restructuring are implemented in a nonthreatening way and do not usually increase anxiety significantly.
