Earlier psychotherapy assessment better for teens with depression


A study in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry showed that evaluating interpersonal psychotherapy response and augmenting treatment for inadequate responders at week four of treatment was better in curbing depression symptoms in adolescents compared with assessments at week eight. The findings also showed that boosting psychotherapy at four weeks through additional fluoxetine or session frequency was effective.  Physician's Briefing/HealthDay News
