In reply to What have we learned from the STAR*D study?, posted by SLS on January 4, 2008, at 5:42:45
THAT is a VERY interesting read indeed!
Personally, I wish the study made it easier for subjects to enter cognitive therapy as an adjunct to medication. I believe a lot of studies indicate that the right kind of therapy plus pills is better.
Also, one of the complicating issues in depression is that there are several different KINDS of depression and there may not be "one pill treats all" type situation.
We've definately encountered this complication when it comes to cancer treatment and we've learned that it's all about getting the right drug with the right cancer.
I suspect that might be true with depression as well.
Anyway, interesting read no doubt.
I thank god everyday that I responded to prozac.
Seldom.
