Medication Management
Antidepressants are the front line of defense in the treatment of bi-polar disorder, clinical depression and many anxiety disorders. However, doctors often use antidepressants to replace other treatment options that provide patients with more long-term relief, such as intense psychotherapy. The term medication management is common in the healthcare industry and even more common in the psychiatric field as doctors with limited time tend toto prescribe antidepressants rather than employing an intense program of psychotherapy.
Limited Psychiatric Care
Many people throughout the world have limited access to psychiatric care due to factors such as their current economic and social conditions. People with mental disorders often suffer through the crippling effects and their quality of life diminishes to the point of suicidal ideation in some cases. If people do have access to some form of psychiatric treatment, the only available option is treatment through the use of antidepressants. From an ethical standpoint, doctors must make their patients aware that treatment with antidepressants is only moderately effective and in some instances ineffective.
Some Facts about Depression
Clinical depression is a misunderstood condition, and most people do not recognize that it is a real disease.

This attitude leaves little room for proven alternative treatment methods keeping people who suffer from living active, healthy and happy lives.
