What are the main applications of Mirtazapine?

Sleep and increased appetite
Anxiety and panic attacks
Weight management
Smoking cessation

The correct answer is: Sleep and increased appetite

Mirtazapine is primarily used to treat depression by increasing levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain. This leads to improved mood and a decrease in symptoms of depression. While it is not specifically marketed for these uses, some individuals may experience increased appetite and improved sleep as side effects of the medication. However, Mirtazapine is not typically prescribed for these purposes and should not be used solely for weight gain or sleep improvement. It is also not commonly used to treat anxiety, panic attacks, or smoking cessation. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the main applications of Mirtazapine.
