    Treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD) provide outstanding effects, according to psychotherapy outcome literature. Brief, evidence-based treatments for depressed people have been shown to be effective in several studies. MDD, however, continues to have a catastrophic impact on modern society. It is the biggest cause of disability in the world, according to the World Health Organization. Given the implications of scholarly literature, this fact is unexpected. When long-term, psychodynamically influenced therapies were used, most patients with MDD had full remission and improved outcomes, according to a historical review of MDD therapy. An examination of the managed care system, which maintains the short intervention paradigm for MDD, is presented. This is followed by a case study that demonstrates the harm that managed care may do to MDD patients who are not allowed to get longer-term therapy. There are implications and suggestions for psychologists to act at the micro and macro levels.

    Topiramate, risperidone, quetiapine, paroxetine, venlafaxine, fluoxetine, and sertraline are all recommended by the NMA as effective pharmacological treatments for PTSD. The weakness of quetiapine and topiramate is that they are based on a few small trials, but the clinically significant reduction in symptoms is notable and warrants more research. The acceptance of fluoxetine was comparatively high among the pharmacological therapies with evidence of effectiveness compared to placebo. To our knowledge, this is the most recent NMA on the topic, and the addition of new medicines represents a significant expansion of prior meta-analyses, allowing for a greater number of drug comparisons.

    Armed war, forceful displacement, childhood sexual abuse, and marital violence have all been linked to complex traumatic experiences. People who are exposed to complicated traumatic experiences are at risk of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as well as other mental health issues. While evidence-based psychological and pharmacological therapies for single-event PTSD have been shown to be helpful, it is unknown if persons who have suffered multiple traumatic experiences would benefit from and tolerate these widely accessible treatments. Furthermore, it is unknown which aspects of psychological treatments are most helpful in treating this population's PTSD.

    Insomnia is a well-known co-morbid illness that has significant psychological and societal effects in veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Although cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is regarded an effective treatment, treatment response in this demographic has received little study. The goal of this study was to find variables that might predict how well veterans with PTSD responded to CBT for insomnia (CBT-I).
