Answer:

that will be B. A psychotherapist can monitor a patient’s medication regimen in addition to regular sessions.

It can be helpful to talk about one's thoughts and feelings especially when they are on a drug regimen to address their symptoms. Therapy and drug intervention as treatments for mental illness often go hand in hand as they may work better when both are used simultaneously as treatment options.
