Chloe is a 23 year old college student who feels depressed and kind of yucky. She has felt this way for quite some time now and her parents suggest that she sees a doctor about her symptoms. Chloe goes to visit her primary care doctor and he gives her a Beck Depression Inventory and agrees that Chloe is clearly mildly to moderately depressed. He rules out any medical issues and tells Chloe that the best treatment for her will be antidepressant medications for at least six months, so he writes her a prescription for an SSRI medication and hands her a few pamphlets from the drug company showing the research that supports this type of treatment for mild to moderate depression. Chloe goes home and begins researching whether antidepressants ARE the best treatment for her depression. After researching this treatment more, Chloe decides that she would rather try another approach to treatment before considering antidepressant medications. Chloe calls a psychologist and makes an appointment for counseling. Based on the research she did, Chloe also makes an appointment at the gym to start working with a physical trainer to get more exercise and she meets with a nutritionist to help her find ways to eat healthier foods. She also decides that she needs to spend more time with her friends doing fun activities, as she has not been doing these things for the past several months. Chloe feels better within just a few months and is able to return to all of her normal activities without any symptoms of depression at all. Her family and her doctor are impressed with how well she is doing. If Chloe had decided to take antidepressant medications ONLY and did not pursue any counseling or lifestyle changes, which of the following would potentially have been a PROBLEM with that (medication only) approach to treatment?
