Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Given World Health Organization (WHO) research, depression is the leading cause of disability in people ages 15 and older and produces the greatest decrement in health when compared to anxiety and chronic physical diseases, which include cancer and obesity.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The efficacy of antipsychotic drugs to treat psychosis is related to the medications' ability to block dopamine receptors. Antipsychotic medications do not increase the amount of dopamine in the post-synaptic neuron or decrease the sensitivity of post-synaptic receptor sites.
