Always the either or proposition

There have been a bunch of news stories about a study that Cognitive Therapy Trumps Antidepressants. his isn't based on anything other than my very limited understanding of how human beings inter-relate, but wouldn't the best of all possible worlds be a combination of both cognitive and Anti-depressants? It's been proven that depression has a bio-chemical basis, but it can be triggered by past events and other traumas....so I would think that the right mix of both would do wonders for people.

However, the medical insurance companies would much rather just have therapists pass pills, as Cognative Therapy takes time. LOTS of time. Time billed by the hour, while a pill can be given with little to no consultation.

Just a thought.
