But what if that starting point is too narrow?Paul Taylor challenges a widely accepted assumption in mental health care that antidepressants are the primary or most effective solution for depression.What he argues is not simplistic and not anti-medication. It’s more uncomfortable than that: that for many people, medication alone may not be enough to meaningfully address the deeper drivers of depression.That raises a harder question most people never get asked: if medication isn’t the full answer, what is?This is a conversation that sits in the tension between science, treatment norms, and lived experience. And it may change how you think about the way depression is actually treated in practice.You can find Dr Paul at his website: https://www.paultaylor.biz/or at his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paultaylor1971/Buy a copy of Dr Paul's new book: https://www.paultaylor.biz/books","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/crvu0qkU_nPKdfaX6_m4Qg8iubjexgpghzQo9EZjyAU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83N2Fh/MWFmM2U1OTAyMDRj/ZDg3MTVjZTdiODM1/ZTVkYS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
