Compare treatments for mood disorders using at least three different treatments arranged from "best" to "worst."
What will be an ideal response?
The types of treatment for mood disorders chosen may vary. Monoamine oxidase inhibitors and lithium would likely be the most problematic treatments, given their side effects. A student may argue that electroconvulsive therapy has negative implications as well, due to relapse and eventual brain damage. The "best" treatments might be the tricyclics, SSRIs, and SNRIs, but these all have the problem of therapeutic lag until improvement.
