Which Depression Treatment Is Right for You?

Today, there are more therapies and medications for depression than ever before. But different approaches work for different people. Here's how to find the right method to beat the blues...
For Teresa Stevens, a 50-year-old book editor in Lawrenceville, N.J., the search for a depression treatment lasted almost a decade.
"I was very unhappy," she says.
She tried talk therapy, but that didn't provide enough relief. Medications improved her mood, but side effects such as weight gain and lowered sex drive made them hard to live with.
Fortunately, the third drug she tried brought her good results and few side effects.
Since then she has stayed depression-free, even through other life stressors.
Stevens' story isn't unique.
For many women, finding a depression treatment that's both effective and free of irritating side effects takes patience and persistence.
There's some help: In October 2010, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) published updated guidelines for treating major depression that can help your health-care provider make research-based choices about which methods to try.
But doctors still don't have a surefire way of knowing whether a particular depression treatment will be effective for you, says Alan Gelenberg, M.D., chair of the APA work group that wrote the guidelines. So a testing period is often necessary.
What the Guidelines Say
A quick glance at the 2010 APA recommendations can help you begin your search for the right treatment.
If you have mild to moderate depression:
The usual treatment is psychotherapy, an antidepressant or both. Personal preference is an important deciding factor.
"Some people really want to take a pill or talk in therapy, and others definitely don't," Dr. Gelenberg says.
Exercise also helps. If depression is mild, it might be enough on its own.
If you have more severe depression:
Medication is generally needed, either alone or combined with psychotherapy.
Another option for treating severe, urgent or stubborn symptoms is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), which involves passing a carefully controlled electrical current through the brain to induce a brief seizure.
A short stay in the hospital also may be advised.
If you're pregnant, planning to have kids, or breastfeeding:
For most pregnant women, the guidelines now recommend psychotherapy alone as the first-choice treatment.
If you haven't responded to previous treatments:
If you aren't fully improved after 4-8 weeks of psychotherapy or medication, talk to your health-care provider.
Options include upping the dose or intensity of your current treatment, switching to a different one or adding another.
"There are a lot of treatment options. The more you try, the better the chance you'll achieve remission," Dr. Gelenberg says.
If you've recovered from depression:
The disease tends to return, so once you've gotten well, staying that way is a priority.
"If you've had two very serious episodes of depression, or if you've had three or more total episodes, staying on treatment indefinitely should be considered," Dr. Gelenberg says.
For those who prefer psychotherapy, "revisiting a therapist on a regular basis is probably smart."
The Details
Here's an in-depth look at the available depression treatments, along with reasons you might want to consider them.
This kind of therapy, which involves talking through issues with a licensed professional, doesn't cause side effects the way medicine can. You also learn skills that can be used for a lifetime. On the other hand, going to therapy takes energy, motivation and concentration – which can be in short supply when you're seriously depressed.
"In general, medication may produce faster results, but therapy can produce more durable ones," says Scott Bea, Psy.D., a psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.
Many types of mental-health professionals offer psychotherapy. Here's how to tell them apart:
are medical doctors who can write prescriptions, and many focus mainly on drug therapy. Others provide psychotherapy too.
Clinical psychologists
have at least a master's degree. Many have a doctoral degree and postdoctoral experience. In addition to providing therapy, they can do psychological testing.
Clinical social workers
have at least a master's degree as well as clinical experience.
Psychiatric nurses
are registered nurses with additional training in mental-health care.
Advanced-practice registered nurses
have at least a master's degree.
Mental-health counselors
typically have a master's degree plus post-degree experience. Licensing requirements vary from state to state.
Marriage and family therapists
typically have at least a master's degree plus post-degree experience, although requirements vary. They focus on mental-health problems in the context of close relationships.
The following types of talk therapy have been found particularly effective against depression. If one isn't helpful for you, consider one of the others:
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
helps patients identify and change irrational beliefs and dysfunctional behaviors that contribute to their depressed mood.
Behavior therapy
helps patients substitute helpful thoughts and actions for destructive behaviors.
For example, people with depression may focus on scheduling pleasant activities, even if they don't feel like it. Once they get moving, a better mood often follows.
Interpersonal therapy
helps patients address relationship factors that trigger depression symptoms.
For example, they might focus on building a social support system, coming to terms with a change in their social role, or mourning the loss of a loved one.
Dozens of different antidepressants are now available. But each carries a risk of troublesome side effects, which may include weight gain, loss of sex drive, nausea, headaches, restlessness and trouble sleeping.
Finding one that works well for you may take trial and error, Dr. Gelenberg says.
The following antidepressants are usually tried first because of their milder side effects:
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as citalopram, escitalopram, fluoxetine, paroxetine or sertraline. These increase brain levels of serotonin, producing a sense of well-being.
Selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), such as venlafaxine, desvenlafaxine, or duloxetine. These increase brain levels of norepinephrine, which tends to produce a sense of mental stimulation; some increase serotonin as well.
Mirtazapine uses a different process but also seems to increase norepinephrine and serotonin.
Bupropion increases brain levels of norepinephrine and dopamine, which plays a role in the brain's pleasure and reward systems.
Other medical treatments
Electroconvulsive therapy, although controversial, has the highest success rate of any depression treatment, with 70%-90% of those treated showing improvement.
Modern methods are considerably safer and gentler than the "shock therapy" of decades past. But there are still potential side effects, including temporary confusion and lasting memory loss.
Newer options are also available.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation uses rapid pulses of magnetic fields to stimulate certain brain cells.
Vagus nerve stimulation uses a small implanted device, similar to a pacemaker, to deliver mild electrical impulses to a nerve that extends from the brain to the abdomen. It then transmits the pulses to brain areas that affect mood and other symptoms of depression.
Alternative therapies
If you have mild depression and prefer alternative treatments, consider the herbal remedy St. John's wort or the nutritional supplement SAM-e. Both have been studied as mood boosters, although APA guidelines say evidence for their effectiveness is "modest at best."
St. John's wort can also interact with a number of medications – for example, it can reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills. Talk to your doctor before self-treating with supplements.
Acupuncture is another possibility. Although research has yielded mixed findings, a study in the March 2010 issue of
Obstetrics and Gynecology
showed promising results. According to Stanford University researchers, pregnant women with depression showed a greater decrease in symptoms if they received depression-specific acupuncture than if they were treated with a different kind of acupuncture or massage.
Getting high-quality care
A 2010 study published in the
Archives of General Psychiatry
showed that only about half of those with depression received some kind of treatment.
"But only about one in five got depression care that conformed to established guidelines," says lead researcher Hector Gonzalez, Ph.D., an assistant professor of family medicine and public health sciences at Wayne State University in Detroit.
To make sure you get the right treatment, start with a referral to a mental-health professional or clinic, or ask your primary-care physician for help. Your doctor can prescribe antidepressant medication, but you may have better results with a psychiatrist – especially if your symptoms don't go away within a couple of months.
"It's also important to get a psychiatrist involved if you have a coexisting issue such as substance abuse, suicidality, bipolar disorder or disabling anxiety," says Ken Duckworth, M.D., medical director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
If you have one treatment provider for medication and another for psychotherapy, it's important they work closely together. Find professionals who have a collaborative relationship already in place. Your doctor might be able to refer you to a therapist, or vice versa.
Keep trying, and you won't have to settle for staying depressed or feeling just a little better. With the right treatment, becoming symptom-free is a realistic goal.

Officers with the Shreveport Police Department have arrested a local man believed to have robbed a convenience store early Thursday morning.
Just after 10:00 p.m. Thursday night, Detectives were conducting surveillance at a convenience store near Youree Drive and Southfield Road when they observed a male suspect driving a dark Honda Accord pull up to the store and get out of the vehicle. The suspect started sneaking around the building and peeking in the windows of the store. Based on these suspicious actions, the investigators stopped the man and immediately recognized him as the suspect who had robbed the Circle K in the 100 block of East Bert Kouns Industrial Loop in the early Thursday.
The suspect, identified as 48-year-old Johnny Madison, was taken into custody without incident. As their investigation progressed, the detectives discovered stolen merchandise in Madison's vehicle that had been taken from several retail stores in Shreveport. Johnny Madison, of the 200 block of W. 77th Street in Shreveport was booked into the Shreveport City Jail on one count each of simple robbery and felony shoplifting.
Chief of Police Willie Shaw lauded the arrest saying, "This is a perfect example of what Robbery Intervention Detail is all about. We want these criminals to know that when they make a decision to victimize someone in our city, they will end up behind bars."

February is Black History Month - Your weekly fact sponsored by BLSA: In Elliott v. Twilley, 5 Del. 192 (1849). Ann Elliot, an enslaved woman won her freedom from Robert Twilley in Delaware Court. The issue in the case regarded slaves manumitted to be free at a future day, born after the manumission, but before the period of its taking effect. Part of the court's decision was based on the legal point that property in slaves is a qualified, and not an absolute property. Slaves are regarded by the laws of this country as human beings, having moral rights, and entitled to the protection of the laws.
There are opportunities for a limited number of JD students to participate in the exchange program of the North American Consortium on Legal Education (NACLE). The participating law schools are all excellent: McGill in Montreal, Quebec; Dalhousie in Halifax, Nova Scotia; and Ottawa in Ottawa. The best seasons for all three are probably fall, unless you are a skier or skater, in which case McGill and Ottawa are attractive for the winter. Montreal is one of the world's truly great cities. If you are starved for water (e.g., an ocean) and trees, Halifax is a very pleasant small city. Canada's capital, Ottawa, is slightly larger than Tucson, with a large high-tech industrial sector and access to some of the most beautiful parks and wilderness anywhere. The credits are fully transferable. Anyone with interest in a one semester exchange for 2006 - 2007 should contact Prof. David Gantz ASAP. Candidates must be in good standing at Arizona, with a GPA of at least 2.5.
The College offers a unique exchange program with the University of Puerto Rico School of Law for summer or semester-long exchanges. The University of Puerto Rico, the best known law school in Puerto Rico, is accredited by the American Bar Association. Students from each school may pay "home" school tuition and take a full course load at the host institution. The Puerto Rico program offers students the opportunity to have an American-based law experience within both civil and common law traditions while perfecting their Spanish-speaking skills. If you are interested in studying in Puerto Rico this summer or next fall, please contact Professor David Wexler as soon as possible.
HabiStore Project. The Public Interest Law Organization (PILO) and the Community Service Board invite all students, faculty and staff to participate in our HabiStore Project on Saturday, February 25, from 8:00 a.m. - Noon.

Usable materials, donated by retail businesses, contractors, individuals, and other organizations, are sold at below cost prices. Proceeds from the HabiStore will fund the Habitat Tucson mission of eliminating poverty housing within our community. (Last week they raised close to $20,000 in one day!) As volunteers we will help in the store and in the warehouse. If you would like to join us, please e-mail Martha Fenn (firstname.lastname@example.com) or sign up on the sign-up sheet in the main lobby. Adult family members and friends are welcome to join us.

out of all of my eyeshadows I hit pan with Brown Script more than every other color. I use it as a transition and it allows me to wear any color I want without looking crazy.

I'm shade NC50 and use it in the creases of my eyes. It's the only eye shadow brand I use as other brands give me an allergic eye reaction. I bought it because it compliments FORMAT blush.

Perhaps the most used brown e/s in my collection, works amazing on WOC. I normally use it as a transition color but I've also used it for cheek contour. The thing that I really like about this particular shade is that its undertones can vary due to the person's skin undertones. I've found that while it has a tendency to go red on me (NW43) I'll use it on an NC42 and it goes orange. Great pigmentation with various uses!

This shadow is pigmented and is more of a brick-red. Unfortunately, blending it can be a bit of a chore... and I really struggle to blend it evenly. Not something I would repurchase.

Brownscript is a highly pigmented satin like eye shadow that has brown, orange, brick red shades. I use it in the crease or as a transitional shade and it is so multidimensional and looks like a beautiful sunset.

This is one of my staples, I love this color...on me it's a dark orangey-brown color if that makes sense. I am a GGG and I love using this color as a transition color in the crease or a little above it. You can pair this shadow with so many others that it really is too long of a list to name them all. If I want a brown smokey eye, I apply this all over my lid and a little above the crease with something like Shroom to highlight. Simple but very pretty!

This color has become a true staple in my eye shadow collection. It works with so many different eye looks. I love how this red brown brings out my green eyes. I also love that it has absolutely no shine or sparkle at all. It's just the perfect matte. I tend to gravitate more toward matte shades as I have gotten older. I will still mix in a few shimmery shades on my lids here and there, but I love my mattes at this stage in my life.
I will start with Saddle and Texture and then blend this shade in the crease along with them. I love to use this shade with Antiqued on the lid. I think it's a beautiful color combination that makes my green eyes pop. But there are so many ways in which I use this color. I have used it on the lid, used it on my lower lids to smoke out and blend with kohl black eyeliner in the waterline. It's just an all around outstanding color that can be the base for any number of different looks.
I know that Jaclyn Hill has used this shade in her you tube videos. I already had the shade, but she showed me even more ways to wear it. A very versatile shade that just lights up my eyes. This one's a keeper.

This used to be one of my (go to eye shadows) but I don't use anymore because I switched it up for fun.
I love that it is matte and really really pigmented. I will be rebuying again sometime down the road

My skin and hair are very cool-toned, so colors like this normally look awful on me. It's true that concealer and foundation are *mandatory* when I wear this, but it makes my eyes really blue. It may be tied with Uninterrupted (my beloved ugly ducking) and Copperplate (my all-time favorite eyeshadow) for my favorite smoky eye.
Incidentally, white liner in my waterline gets rid of the red eye effect. For stubborn cases, I'll also put a brown, gray, or black right next to my lashline and use the problem color to smoke it out. Helps a lot, but concealer is still mandatory.

Super speedy delivery by FedEx...no damages, great leather and spacious when opened. Using it as a coffee table and storage for DVDs, video games, blankets and magazines. I researched for ottomans all over the net and this one on Overstock was the best bang for my buck. Would def recommend it.
We love this piece. It was shipped in a timely manner and was packed so ottoman would not be damaged. It is firm enough to hold serveral guest at a time and we can store items inside when guest arrive unannounced.
this is the perfect storage ottoman for your family room. its the perfect size, which for us is fairly large so it will fit in front of our sectional couch. it does def appear to be almost black... not really dark brown. the hinges inside are great so it doesn't slam shut. i was surprised how deep it is inside .... tons of storage! great buy
Lots of storage space. We use it for blankets. It came nicely packaged and was not damaged with shipping. We have never ordered with Overstock before, but will continue to use them for furture purchases. Very pleased.
This is a beautiful ottoman at a great price! It opens very easily, but you can not slam it shut due to the shock hinges. Perfect for my family as we have little ones. You can store a ton of stuff in it and it wipes clean very easily. I am very happy with my purchase as I am with all the furniture purchases I have made on overstock.
So far so good, we have only had the ottoman a week but it is just what we wanted. The color is dark leather and perfect with our other furniture. It is a nice size and has great storage. The Ottoman arrived packed perfectly and in great condition. Hopefully it will hold up as good as all the other products that I have ordered from Overstock.
I love the appearance of this product BUT the wood in the frame of the lid broke in about 4 months so the top no longer aligns with the bottom. We do not use the ottoman as a seat. We only store blankets it it and use it to rest our feet when on the couch. The return policy is 30 days with nothing more so I would not recommend this product and would highly recommend finding out about warranty information before ordering any furniture from Overstock. Although the price was reasonable, it was way too much for a product which only properly functioned for about 4 months. When I contacted customer service the response was, "sorry". Sorry doesn't help. When I said, so essentially I am out of luck, the response was "yes". Sadly disappointed.
I love this ottoman and it looks very nice in my den. However I was disappointed when I recieved it that one of the legs was broken off and has to have someone repair it
This ottoman was exactly what i was looking for, the storage space is HUGE. My eight year old was able to fit in there comforatable and hide from her sister LOL. But seriously it is a big space I think I'm able to fit in there although I haven't tried yet. I was able to fit board games, magaizines, papers, & multiple King size comforters. The leather is quality, the shipping was on time & poperly secured with a mesh covering over it when it was delivered. It takes up less space than the coffee table I had but it is the size in height so I get more room and it is not too low, and I can rest my foot on it comfortably. The only thing I have to do now is buy some foldable eating trays b/c I would not suggest putting any drinks or plates on it just to be safe. PERFECT!!
I was really nervous to order any type of furniture online and had never ordered through overstock before, but after searching for the perfect ottoman everywhere I resorted to shopping online. I found this one and loved the size, color, and really enjoyed reading all of the great reviews. We just received our ottoman today and it was delivered in perfect condition with no scratches or other blemishes. The color was just what I expected with the picture shown and description. So happy we decided to purchase this and would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in this style of ottoman.
