The results of the study should reassure many depressed teenagers and their parents. It should also reassure the doctors prescribing Prozac (P).

“This was an effective treatment. Medication actually can work in treating teenagers who have depression.”
This latest research, which has yet to be peer-reviewed, is the first large study to compare a daily dose of P with psychotherapy, or “talk therapy,” in which a patient discusses problems with a therapist.
More than 370 depressed teenagers, between 12 and 17 years of age, completed the study.
After 3 months, researchers reportedly found that just taking a placebo or “dummy pill” helped lessen depression in 35 percent of patients, while talk therapy was only marginally better, helping 43 percent of patients.
Researchers also determined that for those on P, the number climbed to 61 percent of the teens who were helped.
But the most effective approach, according to the report, was the combination of P and talk therapy, which helped 71 percent of patients.
"The medication is addressing the chemical imbalances in the brain while the psychotherapy is addressing the behavior and the thoughts," said Dr. Timothy Wilens, a child psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital, who reviewed some of the preliminary results for ABC News.
