➤ When should a clinician choose one antidepressant class over another?
Choice depends on symptoms, comorbidity, and side effects. SSRIs are first-line for depression and anxiety. SNRIs help when pain or neuropathy coexists. TCAs can treat severe or painful conditions but carry cardiotoxic risk. Bupropion suits fatigue and smoking cessation. Mirtazapine helps insomnia and poor appetite. Reserve MAOIs for refractory or atypical cases.

➤ Why are masks and distancing considered primary prevention?

Together they reduce the reproduction number (R0), cut transmission chains, and protect communities before cases rise or healthcare systems become strained.

➤ How do prefixes and suffixes help identify medical terms?
Break words into prefix, root, and suffix to determine meaning. Prefixes like brady- or tachy- modify speed or direction. Roots such as pneum- (lung) or cardi/o (heart) locate the body part. Suffixes like -pnea (breathing) or -algia (pain) describe the condition. This method clarifies unfamiliar medical vocabulary quickly.
