How much will antidepressants help with depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your milage may vary: It seems that roughly 2/3 of people who receive an appropriate medicine, at the right dosage, and take it long enough for it to work, will feel and function noticeably better. But about the same proportion will respond to "talk therapy" like cognitive-behavioral treatment. Combining approaches can be effective both in treating biological imbalances and making needed changes in coping with life.
