5.WHAT TREATMENT IS AVAILABLE
The mainstay of treatment is usually medication, talk therapy or a combination of the two. Increasingly, research suggests that these treatments may normalise brain changes associated with depression.
6. CAN MEDICATION ELIMINATE DEPRESSION
Antidepressants, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Prozac (fluoxetine) and Zoloft (sertraline), are the most widely prescribed medication for depression, and while they are often effective, they can have side effects and be expensive and can often be more demanding than depression itself.
Depression is a condition that is either adopted or genetically introduced and can be managed with the right medication although there are no clear studies that prove medication or holistic therapy as a guaranteed cure.
