• Psychoanalytic techniques are used by some practitioners to treat clients presenting with major depression.

Antidepressants
• The effects of prescription antidepressants are somewhat superior to those of psychotherapy, especially in cases of chronic major depression.
• Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as sertraline, escitalopram, fluoxetine, paroxetine, and citalopram are the primary medications prescribed because of their effectiveness, relatively mild side effects, and because they are less toxic in overdose than other antidepressants.

Sociocultural Aspect
• "Because of the lack of scientific certainty," one commentator has observed, "the debate over depression turns on questions of language.
• Whether we call it 'disease,' 'disorder,' or 'state of mind‘ affects how we view, diagnose, and treat it."
