Description:
As the rate of depression increases around the world, it is apparent that depression is about more than just "bad chemistry."

Key aspects of effective treatment will be described in this workshop.
Educational Objectives:
- To list three social factors leading to the rates of depression.
- To describe two specific ways psychotherapy can outperform medications.
