Combined treatment with medication and CBT appears to be as efficacious as treatment with medications alone and to retain the enduring effects of CBT, and there are indications that the same strategies used to reduce risk in psychiatric patients following successful treatment can be used to prevent the initial onset of depression in persons at risk.

The outcome studies are considered as the basis for a cost-effectiveness comparison of drugs and psychotherapy in the treatment of unipolar depression and shows that over a 2-year period, fluoxetine alone may result in 33% higher expected costs than individual CBT treatment and the combination treatment might result in 23% higher costs than CBT alone.
