Hi Scott,
The problem with saying that depressive rebound can best be treated by medication or psychotherapy is that it could be due to so many reasons that might not be conducive to those treatments. This is not a one size fits all type of deal.
For example, if someone has suffered vestibular damage as the result of being on psych meds and is depressed from that, reinstating the drugs that caused the problems would be very cruel.
Regarding psychotherapy, if that person can't even sit up straight without getting dizzy, then it would be useless. It seems the best remediation is some type of vestibular therapy.
I do understand your concerns about waiting too long. Many of us don't have the luxury of waiting it out since we have to earn a living to support ourselves.
Then again, many people who had horrific discontinuation syndromes including depression have posted about how time was really the only answer to resolving their situation. They said they were tempted to reinstate the meds but were so glad they didn't and are feeling great.
