Often individuals come in to see me for relationship therapy and have issues relating to anxiety, depression and stress related disorders. One of the things that goes on is that they seem to feel they need to make a choice between either a psychological intervention for their problems, or a medical intervention. Often this is a struggle they are going through and can't seem to move on until they decide, "is this physical, or is it in my head?" The truth is, as far as moving on and fixing a problem goes, the best interventions, especially for moderate to severe issues of anxiety, depression and stress, are "multi-modal" therapies. Therapies that include both medical and cognitive (psychological) interventions. Intervention plans that include both are by far the best intervention plans. This article address more of the recent research on this topic. It's a good read, short, direct and very clear.
