[QUOTE="Matthead012, post: 327552, member: 101123"] [FONT=Arial]What should I do if I can't decide between medicine and therapy? People with emotional or behavioural issues can benefit from medications, psychotherapy, or a combination of the two. Different types of diseases, however, will respond differently to different treatments; hence, selecting the proper treatment can be difficult. Your treatment choice should be based on the best available scientific data, as well as your own willingness to attempt and continue with these treatments. Whatever decision you make, you should discuss it with your doctor, psychologist, or mental health professional. Here are some things to think about: The Best Evidence Cognitive-behavioral therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy, as well as antidepressant drugs, have been demonstrated to be effective treatments for depression. Combining psychotherapy and drugs may be more beneficial than either treatment alone, according to some data. Suicidal individuals may require hospitalization. Cognitive-behavioral therapy, antidepressant medicines, and anti-anxiety pharmaceuticals have all been demonstrated to be beneficial for anxiety disorders. Psychotherapy is generally more successful than drugs, and adding medications does not significantly improve outcomes from psychotherapy alone. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and environment-based therapies, as well as 12-step support programs, have been demonstrated to be effective for alcohol and drug use disorders. People who have serious substance abuse issues may benefit from the addition of medications that lower cravings or intoxication effects. Medical management of eating disorders may be required to ensure physical safety. Cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, and antidepressant drugs have all been demonstrated to be beneficial, and there is some evidence that combining psychotherapy and medications may be more effective than any treatment alone. Most persons with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder will require antipsychotic or mood-stabilizing medication. According to research, incorporating cognitive-behavioral or family psychotherapy within the treatment can improve functional outcomes. When it comes to parenting, marriage, or adjustment issues, psychotherapy is frequently the first line of defense. This treatment can assist you in developing skills and responding more properly to pressures. Customizing Your Treatment Different people react differently to treatments. As a result, if one treatment does not work, try the other. According to research, psychotherapy can be beneficial even for persons who do not respond well to drugs. Both psychotherapy and drugs require you to persist with the treatment. Results are rarely achieved overnight. As a result, only begin a treatment if you are willing to stick with it long enough for it to be effective. If a treatment makes sense to you, you are more likely to remain with it. As a result, it is critical that you extensively discuss the therapy with your doctor and that the treatment is explained in a way that you comprehend. If in doubt, consult your doctor. He or she can provide you with the most up-to-date evidence and provide a precise recommendation for your situation.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
