Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The TADS study found that a combination of antidepressant medication and cognitive-behavioral therapy was most effective in treating adolescents with depression, that cognitive-behavioral therapy alone was not much better than a placebo, and that antidepressant medication alone was better than cognitive-behavioral therapy alone. However, it did not conclude that the danger to adolescents from antidepressants has been overemphasized; in fact, concerns about the risks of antidepressants, especially the risk of increased suicidal thoughts and behaviors in some adolescents, have been significant and led to warnings from health authorities.
