A friend asks you, “I've been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, and my therapist wants me to use drug therapy, not psychological therapy. What do you think?” Based on current research, your BEST answer would be:
A.
“That's the best advice your therapist could have given.”
B.
“Some therapists think psychological therapy should always be used, even along with drug therapy; there's less chance of relapse.”
C.
“Drug therapy works especially well in combination with short-term psychodynamic therapy; cognitive-behavioral therapies don't help much.”
D.
“Unfortunately, no therapy works very well in the long run for most people with social anxiety disorder.”
