Question 1 of 5

Which medication is commonly prescribed to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Paroxetine. Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) commonly prescribed for OCD due to its effectiveness in increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which helps reduce obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Lithium, Donepezil, Valproate, and Carbamazepine are not typically used to treat OCD as they are more commonly indicated for conditions such as mood disorders, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and bipolar disorder, respectively.
Therefore, Paroxetine is the most appropriate choice for treating OCD based on its mechanism of action and proven efficacy.
