Depression: a new comprehensive approach

There is already an understanding at the research level that treatment for depression should be multifaceted. A new review in The Lancet shows that this view is now being reflected in clinical practice.

Depression is a very common illness: more than one fifth of adults will experience it during their lifetime. Diagnosed depression alone affects 5.7% of adults worldwide and is the second leading cause of disability. A better understanding of this disease is important to alleviating suffering and improving the quality and meaning of life for countless people.

Research over the past ten years clearly shows that depression is caused by many different factors: biological, psychological, and social. Psychiatry is increasingly understanding how these factors interact with each other. Treatment should be just as comprehensive.

A large clinical review published in The Lancet reflects the most important emphases in the modern approach to the diagnosis and treatment of depression.

In the article, the authors brought together all aspects related to the diagnosis and treatment of depression, as well as relapse prevention.

Where does the subscribers' money go?

Most Republic content is available through a paid subscription. We think this is a good way to finance media. After all, as you know, if you didn’t pay to read it, then someone else paid for you to read it. In our case, everything is fair: your money pays salaries and fees to journalists, and they write about topics that are important and interesting to you.

A key feature of our subscription: Your money is split across Republic magazines based on how you read them. If you read materials from one magazine, then your money will go only to him, and will not go to others. That is, you finance only what interests you.

Republic uses a Redefine.Media subscription. To register, we will redirect you to the Redefine.Media website, where you will need to register and pay for a subscription. Logging into the Redefine.Media website will allow you to read Republic materials from the same device.
