What is this statement telling me to do?

In my Psych class we have a take home assignment and one of the statements is to

2. Discuss the psychopharmacological treatment of the symptoms of mood disorders.

I'm not sure what the answer is suppose to consist of. I know psychopharmacological is the actions of drugs and their effects on mood, sensation, thinking, and behavior, so does that mean my answer is suppose to be what drugs are used to treat the symptoms of mood disorders? Like the SSRI's, MAOIs, etc.

discuss how drugs can be used (sans or without) therapy to help in the management of mood disorders. Psychopharmacology is the use of mood stabilizers, benzos, ssri's maoi's etc to help fix a chemical imbalance. How does fixing the electronics, or the chemicals, or the couriers of your body effect the overall treatment of mood disorders. If you're giving someone buspar, fluoxetine, Haldol, and Seroquel, how could this effect the messagers of the body? what kind of responses are likely? What will these things you're having your patient swallow likely DO to your patient? and why? that's your psych-pharm.
