This week: Talk therapy, allergies and health communications

Many people with depression, anxiety or other mental health disorders prefer talk therapy to taking medication alone. Upstate psychologist Roger Greenberg says those who receive talk therapy are less likely to relapse.

Greenberg discusses how antidepressant use has soared since the 1990s and how more mental health professionals are needed to meet the demand for services.

Also this week: ear, nose and throat specialist Dr. Haidy Marzouk talks about diagnosing seasonal allergies; and Dr. Maritza Alvarado discusses doctor-patient communications.

Tune in this Sunday, April 23 at 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. on WRVO.
