Integrating Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Into the Treatment of Adolescent Depression: A Retrospective Study.

Background: Globally, the prevalence of depression among adolescents is on the rise, posing serious societal problems. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as sertraline, are two commonly employed therapeutic approaches that have shown good clinical outcomes. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects of DBT with or without sertraline on adolescent depression.
