Teenagers with depression that is very hard to cure needs to lots of continuous care and huge reduction of stress, seriousness of life, and be more forgiven. NIMH released Journal of Clinical Psychiatry that tells teens who been in treatment for 24 weeks have a huge chance of getting depression again. In the study teens were taken different types of medicine to cure depression. Out of 334 participants 61 percent had remission by week 72 but many still had remaining symptoms on that week including low self esteem, fatigue, and get easily mad. The ones who have a more severe depression from the beginning were harder to cure. It is said that ethnic minorities have a higher chance of getting depression again than the whites. From the results of ethnic minorities, authors believe that culture have something to do with depression and recovery but the evidence is not clear.
The results are very important because we need to know how to completely cure depression with no relapse. Medicines that were given to teenagers are Paroxetine (Paxil), Citalopram (Celexa), Fluoxetine (Prozac), Venlafaxine (Effexor) with serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, and other types of medicine. They were also treated with cognitive behavioral therapy.
In conclusion this article is about how we can cure the symptoms. The reason on why we should care is because we want to know why the ethnic minorities have a higher rate of relapse than the whites. We want to know more detail if culture factors have something to do with the relapse.
