Combining psychotropic medications and psychotherapy generally leads to improved outcomes and therefore reduces the overall cost of care By Morgan T. Sammons, PhD, and Kevin M. McGuinness, PhD, ABPP

 

A number of individuals do not respond to psychotropic medication alone. For these individuals, the combination of psychotherapy with medication can both improve outcomes and reduce costs. The opposite can also be true. For patients not responding to psychotherapy alone, the addition of pharmacotherapy to the treatment regimen can improve outcomes and lower overall costs. Cost-benefit is measured not only in the additional costs of providing another treatment, but in terms of the effectiveness of those treatments in reducing healthcare utilization and future treatment. In other words, patients who recover more completely are less like to use mental health resources in the future as opposed to those who do not experience significant improvement or only achieve partial remission.
