'Antidepressants unlimited'. Are antidepressants the best option for treating depression in general practice? Debating session WONCA 2004
Antidepressants are among the worlds' most prescribed drugs. However, there are several controversies around their extensive use in primary care, and doubts about their effects, especially in children and older people. Psychological interventions are probably at least as effective as antidepressants, and are preferred by many patients. These issues were discussed at the debating sessions at WONCA 2004 in Amsterdam.

Abstract
Antidepressants are among the worlds' most prescribed drugs. However, there are several controversies around their extensive use in primary care, and doubts about their effects, especially in children and older people. Psychological interventions are probably at least as effective as antidepressants, and are preferred by many patients. These issues were discussed at the debating sessions at WONCA 2004 in Amsterdam.
