A study of 439 adolescents with depression in the U.S. compared the effectiveness of treating them with fluoxetine (Prozac), fluoxetine and cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), CBT alone and a placebo. The most effective treatment was fluoxetine and CBT, followed by fluoxetine alone. CBT alone was no more effective than a placebo.
