Great job man

The correct answer is C. This patient is suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder. Clomipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant, and the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as fluoxetine, are effective in this disorder. None of the other answer choices listed constitute effective therapy for this disorder.

• Buspirone (choice A) is a non-benzodiazepine anxiolytic that does not have marked sedative or euphoric effects. Unlike the benzodiazepines, buspirone is devoid of hypnotic, anticonvulsant, and muscle relaxant properties.
• Chlorpromazine (choice B) is an antipsychotic (phenothiazine) drug.
• Imipramine (choice D) is a tricyclic antidepressant.
• Phenelzine (choice E) is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor type of antidepressant.
• Zolpidem (choice F) is a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic agent.
