Moving towards additional treatment options, cognitive behaviour psychotherapy has demonstrated efficacy in mild as well as severe depression, with a lower relapse rate as compared to pharmacotherapy [ 8].

These three studies 31, 32, 34 suggest that the addition of pharmacotherapy to brief PCP-delivered lifestyle counseling will increase the likelihood that patients achieve clinically meaningful weight loss (≥5% of initial weight), as compared with brief counseling alone.
Both anxiety disorders and depression can be treated effectively by pharmacotherapy as well as psychotherapy [ 8- 15].

To determine differences in lengths of stay, length of therapy, emergency department (ED) utilization, and hospital readmissions between infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) treated exclusively with inpatient pharmacotherapy compared with those discharged on outpatient pharmacotherapy.

We therefore planned to carry out a randomised controlled trial to examine the effectiveness of CBT as an augmentation strategy for antidepressant non-responders compared with pharmacotherapy as part of usual patient care.
