Matching Treatment: Moderate Depression

Captions available

The idea

Moderate to severe depression is matched to combined medication and psychotherapy, which outperforms either alone.

In practice

A course of cognitive behavioral therapy runs alongside an antidepressant with regular review.

Where people slip

The combined advantage shrinks at milder severity, where therapy alone often performs as well.
