The most recent news regarding depression medication is that such meds are completely and thoroughly unnecessary. More and more phychiatrists agree that through helping the person address his problems as they are nowadays, they will achieve much more success with their depressed clients.

The reasoning is based on the idea that you don't need to revisit your past traumas to feel happy nowadays. A bit counterintuitive at first, i started to understand the idea. It is not about what we have gone through, but about how we live today. I know there are traumas that scar people for a lifetime, but modern psychiatry is turning its look into the present more and more, asking patients to not remember the past, but think about who they are today.

I wonder what the rest of the members of United Project think about that. Should phychiatry focus on the patient's current state, and stop looking into his/her past, or should they resume their conventional methods and drug people to oblivion?
