Dear, its simple. if your depression in moderate to severe mainly without any associated stress then medication is the best resort. Side by side CBT can be done to deal with irrational thoughts/ suicidal behavior or anxiety management. now if you have mild depression which can be managed through therapy or its situation specific stress related then only through psychotherapy success rate is high.
