I've been reading a lot on this subject since I'm writing a freelance article about antidepressants vs. psychotherapy.
So I just want to share this statistic (sorry, my sourse is at home, I'll post the source tomorrow, but it is from a respected psychiatric journal).
80% relapse rate back to depression 6 months after meds are stopped.
25% relapse rate back to depression once CBT therapy stopped.
These are in subjects with moderate to severe depression.
