Those guidelines are terrific. I believe that similar guidelines should be in place for adults who have not been previously treated for depression. For adults who have tried both psychotherapy and medications in the past, clients and their doctors should have an in-depth conversation about the costs and benefits of taking antidepressant drugs before resuming treatment.
Also, randomized controlled trials of St. John's Wort should definitely be conducted in children.
