Depressed Adolescents Respond Best to Combination Treatment – October 1, 2007

A combination of psychotherapy and antidepressant medication appears
to be the most effective treatment for adolescents with major depressive
disorder — more than medication alone or psychotherapy alone, according
to results from a major clinical trial funded by the National Institutes
of Health’s National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). The study
was published in the October 2007 issue of the “Archives of
General Psychiatry”.
