Which type of medications can worsen depression?

  1. ADHD medications

  2. Antacids

  3. NSAIDs

  4. Antifungals

The correct answer is: ADHD medications

Certain types of medications, such as ADHD medications, can worsen depression because they have an impact on neurotransmitters in the brain. These medications work by increasing or decreasing levels of specific chemicals in the brain, which can have an unintended effect on mood and emotions. Options B, C, and D do not typically have this same impact on neurotransmitters and therefore are less likely to worsen depression. It is important to consult with a doctor or healthcare provider before taking any medication, especially if you are already experiencing symptoms of depression.
