I also think that the relationship that you form with your therapist helps to alleviate depression.
Evolutionarily, I think we are hard wired to bond with people and for a lot of us, those bonds didn't form correctly or were interrupted etc...
Loneliness is so common in depression.
When we begin to relate with our T's, then I really think that there is a physiological response that sort of "soothes and stimulates" our brain, because that relation is such a natural thing for humans to do.
I think this is why the drugs and the therapy work so well together, the physiology, psychology and pharmacology all come into synch.
