The scenario
Dispensing assistant Megan has a question for technician Vicky.
“In my technician course, it mentions talking therapies alongside medication such as antidepressants for conditions like depression and anxiety,” Megan starts. “I thought that meant counselling, but when I googled it, a whole list came up!”
“Oh yes,” replies Vicky. “CBT, family therapy, interpersonal therapy, mindfulness, there are so many types.”
“But are they all basically the same thing? And if not, how? And when would each one be used?” Megan asks.
