Great question. The treatment for depression depends on the length of the depressive episode, the severity of symptoms, and how these symptoms impact your quality of life. while individual therapies (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as an example) help treat depressive symptoms, it is important for a provider to consider pharmacotherapy if symptoms do not improve and persist. Talk with your primary care provider, psychiatrist, and/or individual therapist to discuss what is the best course for you.
Studies show that a combination of therapy and medication has high success rates. *Fondly, * *Dr. Betsi Hooper* *Licensed Psychologist*
