help for depression: What Works (& what doesn't)
Help for Depression: WhatWorks
(& what doesn't) is a consumer guide to
depression outlining evidence-based reviews for a range of medical,
psychological, lifestyle and alternative treatments.
WhatWorks
describes the symptoms, causes and treatments of depression and how
to find professional help. It comprises a review of 44 medical, psychological
and alternative treatments for depression. For each treatment the guide
answers the questions What is it?,
How is it supposed to work?,
Is it effective?,
Are there any disadvantages?
and Where do you get it?
The guide also provides an overall rating of the helpfulness of the
treatment based on scientific evidence.
The guide can be purchased from: PANDANAS
Books, T. +61 2 6125 3269 F.
+61 2 6125 9975 (Catalogue search words: help for
depression).
In 2003 the Centre has published
the results of its large randomised controlled trial which show that
participants who receive the consumer guide (rather than other forms
of depression information) are more likely to take action (primarily
self-help action based on the information in the guide), more likely
to offer advice to others on depression related issues, and had changed
opinions of the effectiveness of particular treatments based on the
evidence-based approach taken throughout the consumer guide.
The information in WhatWorks can also be accessed
through the Centre's BluePages
depression information website.
