Depression
The article states that pills and medications are the best way to fight depression. It also provides three reasons to support the claim. However, the speaker explains that medication is not an answer to depression. He refutes each of reasons used in the text.
To begin with, the writer insists that the reason for depression is a chemical disbalance in the body of a patient. Thus, to heal depression, the balance has to be restored. According to the reading, the only way to do it is to take pills. The lecturer opposes this point by explaining that more reasons play role in causing depression. One of those reasons can be a negative experience instead of chemical disbalance. For instance, the death of relatives may be such experience. As a result, the main problem here is that medication does not help overcome the situation.
What is more, the reading reports that the effectiveness of medication was proven clinically whereas the listening asserts that it is a short-time effect. It is said in the lecture, that depression comes back after completion use of medication pills. According to the speaker, medication ignores the reasons for depression and fights the symptoms only.
In addition, the article claims that it is much easier for a patient to deal with medication over the other ways of curing depression. It is because a patient has to take few tablets only instead of attending special therapy. However, the lecturer opposes this point by explaining that pills have a lot of side effects such as sleep issues, loss of appetite and others. Those effects are various for each person and cannot be predicted in short clinic studies. Therefore, medication cannot be an answer to depression.

I agree with you. Knowledge…
I agree with you. Knowledge never hurt anyone. Psychotherapy is also known as therapy or counseling. However, with the help of the resource https://us.calmerry.com/blog/therapy/mental-health-professionals-titles/ I was able to get more detailed information on the issues that interest me in choosing the specialist I need. There are several types of mental health professionals who are ready to make positive changes and find tactics to achieve the life goals of a patient with various problems. Of course, everyone chooses to whom it is necessary to turn for help, but this resource helped me understand the features and specifics of the work and education of these therapists and make my choice. I am satisfied with online counseling and I think that it significantly saves time and is comfortable for me.
