Most conversations about depression treatment start and end with medication. 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.
