Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Monoamines such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine have been implicated in the etiology of mood disorders such as depression.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
When working with depressed individuals, it is most therapeutic to maintain an attitude of acceptance, honesty, empathy, and patience. Being too cheerful can convey a nongenuine approach. Being too business-like can convey the attitude of not having time to care for the client, and confrontation is not necessary under the condition of depression.
