Despite the type of clinician sought for depression treatment, most participants preferred to visit a general medical setting. Integrated care, or seeing a mental health professional in a clinic where multiple services are offered,
was favorably endorsed by all participants. A combination of medication and
psychotherapy was the most preferred treatment. Participants viewed combination treatment as being a more effective option than either medication or
therapy alone. They also believed that it was a safer treatment option, as they
believed that medication should be closely monitored by a health or mental
health care provider.
