The symptoms of mental disorders are behavioral, cognitive, or emotional problems. Some patients with mental disorders can be effectively treated with psychotherapy. But it is now known that in some patients mental disorders result from chemical imbalances affecting the brain. Thus these patients can be effectively treated only with medication that will reduce or correct the imbalance.
The argument depends on assuming which one of the following?
(A) Treatment by psychotherapy can produce no effective reduction in or correction of chemical imbalances that cause mental disorders.
(B) Treatment with medication always shows faster results for patients with mental disorders than does treatment with psychotherapy.
(C) Most mental disorders are not the result of chemical imbalances affecting the brain.
(D) Medication is always more effective in treating patients with mental disorders than is psychotherapy.
(E) Treatment with psychotherapy has no effect on mental disorders other than a reduction of the symptoms.

A.
If A is negated - psychotherapy can also produce
effective reduction in or correction of chemical, then medication is no more effective than psychotherapy.
Nothing is given about the relative speed of recovery about the two.

Yep the answer is clearly A because it mentions the chemical imbalance aspect of mental disorders. The rest are mere generalizations.
