Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both drug therapy and other kinds of therapy (such as talk therapy) have been shown to result in changes in brain functioning and improved depressive symptoms. Therefore, Rob should expect his brain functioning to change with either form of therapy. Option A is not correct because other kinds of therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, have been shown to also result in changes in brain activity. Option C is not necessarily true and varies based on individual circumstances. Option D is not correct as research has shown that various forms of therapy can result in changes to brain functioning.
