Answer to Question 1

Answer: Diet and lifestyle changes can combat depression even among people resistant to antidepressant drugs. In his book The Depression Cure, clinical psychologist Steve Ilardi (2010) describes a program that combines mental and physical strategies, including social interaction, exercise, omega-3 fatty-acid supplements, sleep, and exposure to sunlight, based on research showing that these factors can lower depression.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: As a Type D (distressed) personality, Erika has a combination of high neuroticism and high social inhibition. Type Ds are four times more likely to have had psychotherapy in the past month than nonType Ds (7 versus 1.5). In one study of young, healthy adults, Type D people's blood pressure went up more after stress. Type D teenagers were also four times more likely to have trouble sleeping. If a Type D develops heart disease, she is two to seven times as likely to have a heart attack, develop cancer, or die from any cause as a nonType D person.
