Anti-depressant Medications

Antidepressant medications and talk therapy are the two most common treatments for clinical depression. They are often used at the same time. Research indicates that the best kinds of talk therapy are cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy. CBT focuses on changing the negative thought patterns that can drive depression. Interpersonal therapy focuses on improving and understanding relationships. Therapists often offer a combination of talk therapy approaches.
