Which of the following is true about antidepressants?

A) They make non-depressed people feel happier.
B) Increased euphoria usually occurs within 30 minutes of taking them.
C) They are non-addictive.
D) They have no side effects.

Answer: C
Rationale: SSRIs and other major antidepressants do not induce other characteristic effects of addictive drugs, including withdrawal, tolerance, and compulsive use; however they can have side effects. Antidepressant drugs can alleviate depression, but they do not make people happier than they were before becoming depressed. They also do not create a feeling of euphoria, even in high doses.
