Study finds drugs might not help improve depression symptoms as quickly

A recent study found that the drug Zoloft barely relieves symptoms of modern depression within three months. According to UTMB’s Jeff Temple, the medication needs to be paired with some kind of therapy. “I think when we just prescribe medication, we’re doing a disservice to the patient because we’re not giving them the tools, not showing them how to respond to stressors in the real world,” said Temple. Sunny 99.1 and other iHeart Radio stations reported the study.
