question 1

Multiple Choice

When comparing the SSRI and the atypical SSRI antidepressants,you determine that:

• A) The SSRIs increase the concentration of serotonin in the synaptic cleft, resulting in increased stimulation of serotonin receptors. The increase in serotonin activity in the brain is believed to contribute to the antidepressant effect.
• B) The atypical SSRIs decrease the concentration of serotonin in the synaptic cleft, resulting in increased stimulation of serotonin receptors. The increase in serotonin activity in the brain is believed to contribute to the antidepressant effect.
• C) The SSRIs decrease the concentration of serotonin in the synaptic cleft, resulting in decreased stimulation of serotonin receptors. The decrease in serotonin activity in the brain is believed to contribute to the antidepressant effect.
• D) The atypical SSRIs decrease the release of and inhibit the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine.
