Let's Talk it Out

Interesting new study:

In a surprising report from the University of Pennsylvania, researchers are suggesting that, contrary to current American Psychiatric Association (APA) guidelines, psychological therapy and counselling can be just as effective as drugs in the early stages of treating moderate to severe depression.

At present the APA holds the view that the majority of patients suffering the early stages of depression will need medication.

This new report says their findings contradict current practice in the United States and does not support that view.
