The effects of cognitive therapy versus 'treatment as usual' in patients with major depressive disorder.
<h4>Background</h4>Major depressive disorder afflicts an estimated 17% of individuals during their lifetimes at tremendous suffering and costs. Cognitive therapy may be an effective treatment option for major depressive disorder, but the effects have only had limited assessment in system...
