I can tell you adderall works 100x better than my biweekly therapist visits. But I digress.

That's weird. My current therapy appointments are working much better for me then all the antidepressants and what not were. Funny how it all shakes out!

Adderall and antidepressants are typically prescribed for different disorders, so nothing's really contradictory there. Talk therapy (possibly combined with antidepressants to promote neuroplasticity) as a treatment for depression seems pretty well-accepted and grounded at this point.

Most clinical psychologists don't prescribe medication. I think the study is saying that mentalisation is an inherent ability possibly improved through actual practise rather than training.

Yes, I agree! Its More of an innate skill that can strengthened than a thing to be taught.
