Answer:

Depression is one of the most common mental health issues that psychiatrists treat. This question helps you evaluate whether this particular psychiatrist would treat depression and other common mental health concerns in an effective manner. You'll learn his or her views on particular medications and types of psychotherapy, and you'll be able to decide whether the applicant's approach is something that would suit the clients at your practice. What to look for in an answer:

Understanding of the latest medications/psychotherapy approaches
Treatment approach that would benefit your patients
Warm, positive approach to patient care

I would tailor the treatment to the patient's needs. For some patients, I'd suggest just psychotherapy, and I'd use both medications and psychotherapy for others.
