Complementary Therapies for Depression
Sunday, 12 June 2011 Start 11:00am Duration: 25mins Baytrust Forum
Many people with depression will try complementary and alternative therapies (CAM) or will consider
using them. There are many reasons for this, including a preference for natural treatments and also the
limited effectiveness and side effects of antidepressant medications. Unfortunately, there are few sources
of good information and many treatments are totally ineffective or even dangerous. A surprisingly large
number of CAM therapies have been shown in high quality research studies to reduce symptoms and/
or increase quality of life. Most health care professionals receive little if any teaching on evidencebased
CAM and their patients often have questions on the subject, usually based on information from
anecdotes, magazines and the internet. This presentation gives an overview on which CAM therapies
can help people with depression, which do not help or can harm....and how to tell the difference.
