Description
Description:
Accepted thinking about non-polar, non-psychotic depression has been impaired by ignoring crucial research. This shows that some cases are masked endogenous depression; others are anxiety-based in several ways. Therefore, each case must be investigated to decide appropriate treatment and thus surpass the mediocre results typified in the "Collaborative Study."
Educational Objectives:
- To draw attention to the variety of "structures" of depression
- To show how appropriate treatment programs result from correct analysis
