By design, our intervention integrated structured group psychotherapy with monitoring to improve quality of pharmacotherapy.
The chapters follow a pattern : data on the adult disorder (symptom presentation, pharmacotherapy) is presented, followed by information on paediatric and adolescent symptoms and treatment.
However, patients with health problems frequently have difficulty affording their pharmacotherapy and fail to take their medication as prescribed.
Obviously, such evidence is critical toward developing more effective pharmacotherapy treatment.
The secondary aim of the study was to determine the feasibility of pharmacotherapy, especially in regard to duration and dose prescribed.
Only one study has examined the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy in a randomized, placebo-controlled design.
A limited number of psychotherapy sessions in combination with medication is preferable to pharmacotherapy only in the treatment of ambulatory patients with major depression.
They felt that practical issues like education, employment, and social inclusion should be addressed alongside provision of effective professional help like psychotherapy or pharmacotherapy.
