Researchers from Australia reviewed the existing literature for good-quality evidence of effective prevention and treatment of depression in young people. Prevention research was dominated by CBT, and treatment by CBT and SSRI trials. There was minimal empirical support for antidepressant treatment in young people. There were few trials of other psychological interventions or complementary/alternative treatments, and a particular lack of research on relapse prevention or treatment for persistent depression. Results appear in Depression Research and Treatment.
From the article: This framework for early intervention relies on the effective implementation of evidence-based practice. However, evidence-based interventions are far from universally delivered, with research indicating, for example, that antidepressant medications with minimal empirical support are prescribed to young people in high numbers [24, 25]. Having access to, and being familiar with, the best available evidence is a critical step in improving the uptake of evidence-based practice.

Watafiti kutoka Australia walichunguza vitabu vilivyopo ili kupata uthibitisho wenye ubora wa kuzuia na kutibu ugonjwa wa kushuka moyo kwa vijana. Utafiti wa kuzuia ulitawaliwa na CBT, na matibabu na CBT na majaribio ya SSRI. Kulikuwa na msaada mdogo wa majaribio kwa ajili ya matibabu ya antidepressant katika vijana. Kuna majaribio machache ya matibabu ya kisaikolojia au matibabu ya ziada, na ukosefu wa utafiti juu ya kuzuia kurudi nyuma au matibabu ya unyogovu wa kudumu. Matokeo yanaonekana katika Utafiti na Matibabu ya Mshuko wa Moyo. Kutoka makala: Mfumo huu kwa ajili ya uingiliaji mapema hutegemea utekelezaji wa ufanisi wa mazoezi ya msingi wa ushahidi. Hata hivyo, hatua za kuingilia msingi wa ushahidi ni mbali na kutolewa kwa ujumla, na utafiti unaonyesha, kwa mfano, kwamba dawa za antidepressant na msaada mdogo wa empirical huamriwa kwa vijana kwa idadi kubwa [24, 25]. Kuwa na upatikanaji wa, na kuwa na ufahamu wa, ushahidi bora inapatikana ni hatua muhimu katika kuboresha uingizaji wa mazoezi ya ushahidi-msingi. Mad in America inakaribisha blogi za kikundi tofauti cha waandishi. Machapisho haya ni iliyoundwa kutumika kama jukwaa la umma kwa ajili ya majadiliano <unk> kwa ujumla kuzungumza <unk> ya psychiatry na matibabu yake. Maoni yaliyoonyeshwa ni ya waandishi wenyewe.
