Cevap
The correct matches align the psychotic/food-refusing patient with ECT, the bipolar depression patient with quetiapine, the uncomplicated MDD patient with an SSRI, and the seasonal pattern patient with bright light therapy.
Each treatment is matched to its classic indication: ECT for rapid response in psychotic or life-threatening depression; quetiapine for bipolar depression to avoid SSRI-induced mania; SSRIs for standard major depression; and light therapy for seasonal pattern.
