A member asked:
When it comes to depression, is prevention more effective than medical cures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Therapy: The only way I know of to "prevent" depression is a combination of medication and therapy. And even then, the word "prevent" is ill-used. The better term would be management of depression, as opposed to a cure.
