A combination of treatments may be best for depression, experts say
01 Jul 2009
Antidepressants should not be seen as the sole solution to depression, with a number of options available to adults suffering from the condition, experts have advised.
According to the Mental Health Foundation, as many as one in four adults will experience some kind of mental health problem over the course of a year, with mixed anxiety and depression the most common affliction among British adults.
In addition, men are three times more likely to commit suicide than depressed women, with females more inclined to seek professional help for their worries.
However, rather than simply relying on prescriptions of antidepressants, Mind has advised sufferers to look into the wide range of treatments open to them, with many people more likely to benefit from counselling or cognitive behavioural therapy than from drugs.
A spokesperson for the charity advised: "Try using a combination of approaches, including making changes to your lifestyle and relieving areas of pressure in your life, until you find the approach that's right for you."
Experts have also warned that cases of depression are set to rise due to the added pressures of higher unemployment and growing levels of personal debt.
