Cognitive Therapy, better than medication?
This site takes a look at studies that have examined the effects that different types of treatments have on the human brain. According to researchers, antidepressants reduce emotions, while Cognitive Behavior Therapy helps people to process their emotions in a healthier manner. They found that those taking depression medication have a much higher relapse rate if they go off their meds because they are flooded with negative emotions. But Cognitive Behavior Therapy gives people the coping skills they need to deal with their feelings more effectively and thus, CBT may offer much more benefits in the long term.
