Similarly, research
out of the University of Washington found women who received
collaborative care, or counseling that focuses
on patient engagement, for depression, experienced a 50 percent decrease after just one year.
“Collaborative care benefits the community not only by helping women with depression regain function in their lives, but also by lowering health care costs,” Dr. Susan Reed, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at UW and director of women’s health at Harborview Medical Center, said in a press release.
The theme of cognitive therapy and collaborative care is greater patient care, really taking the time to work through the thought processes and outside risk factors in order to arrive at an effective treatment.
The women participating in Reed's study told her they felt it was the first time anyone cared about their mental health.
No, there isn't a universal approach to treating severe depression. But there are so many health care professionals to choose from that it's worth taking the time to meet with more than one.
Finding the right psychiatrist, counselor, and/or therapist to work with, who will recommend a variety of treatments, regardless if they're in combination with another or not, makes all the difference.
