the major cause of disability worldwide. It experienced among all
age with over 300 million people suffering from it
mostly women (McHugh, at al. 2013 p 595). This practice dates to the
1940s where Call Gorgers concentered in the
establishment of trust and acceptance among the patient and the
therapist (Cuijpers, at al 2015 p 17). On the other hand,
antidepressant medication (AM) commonly known drug therapy
can be used in the fighting depression too (Daley, 2008 p 140 ).
However, the method has adverse side effects to the patient

Discussions.
The most effective and recommended first approach to a depressed patient is PT.
It is designed to find out address the root cause (McHugh, at al. 2013 p 595). PT
is done to all ages, unlike AM that cannot be
given to children and adolescent teenagers due to the adverse side
effects (Cuijpers, at al 2015 p 21). Despite the high cost when seeing a therapist,
PT remains the one with more benefits. AM is done to
supplement PT (Chapman, Perry And Strine, 2005,p 10). Though a lot of time used
to attend the PT the effectiveness is tremendous. The studies show that more
people sharing out in the PT meetings do
recovery faster than those taking AM only. PT equips patients with the skills to
live a happy life..

Conclusion.
This analysis presents that PT is a suitable measure to
recommend to a depressed person compared to AM. While it
remains expensive the practice establishes trust with the nurse.
To the clinical question, PT is more effective and many can
associate with it.
