English
Authors' recommendations:
Compared with usual care, treatment with CBT, interpersonal therapy, or supportive therapy significantly reduces depression symptoms posttreatment. CBT significantly reduces anxiety symptoms posttreatment in patients with generalized anxiety disorder.
Compared with usual care, treatment with structured psychotherapy (CBT or interpersonal therapy) represents good value for money for adults with major depressive disorder and/or generalized anxiety disorder. The most affordable option is group structured psychotherapy provided by nonphysicians, with the selective use of individual structured psychotherapy provided by nonphysicians or physicians for those who would benefit most from it (i.e., patients who are not engaging well with or adhering to group therapy).
