Abstract
Depression is a common, recurrent, disabling and potentially life-threatening disorder that accounts for much misery worldwide. Current treatments are imperfect: most studies suggest that chemical antidepressant or psychological therapies, though broadly equally effective when properly delivered, help at best only around half of those suffering in the short to medium term.
