The 1984 goal of 10,000 toys is double what the two radio sta tions have collected in previous years. The donated toys, which are tax deductible, will oe accepted at the tent near the mall and at 12 local day care centers, preschools and other businesses.

Cognitive therapy as good as drugs United Press International ST. LOUIS — Cognitive therapy the use of therapy to think a per son through his imagined problems and shortcomings — can be just as “effective as antidepressant drugs in Ireating moderately to severely de pressed patients. J That is the conclusion of a study 7 at the Washington University School ' U! of Medicine conducted by Dr. fceorge E. Murphy, who worked with 70 people suffering from de pression. Under cognitive therapy, a pa tent and therapist develop a list of he problems that trouble the pa rent. The therapist then guides the atient through the list, explaining (continued from page 4) ferenurts i not soa to beck fo fatal m te Ibid saidli rherdtil :rcent terminal li] horizonii the illogic and inconsistency behind his attitudes. In Murphy’s study, one-fourth of the group received cognitive therapy alone, and another fourth received only antidepressants. A third group received both treatments, and a fourth had cognitive therapy and a dummy drug. Study results showed that cogni tive therapy patients had the same rate of improvement as those treated with drugs. And the dual therapy groups responded about the same as the single therapy groups. Murphy said the important find ing was showing there is a “non-fat- Bryan district office said, “If the city came to us with the Luther Street crossing, or any other crossing, and we determined it was High enough priority, we would look for funds.” Zeigler said Luther Street would probably be classified high enough to receive funds from the highway system.

The most commonly prescribed antidepressants today — tricyclic an tidepressants — relieve depression but also often produce sleepiness, lightheadedness, dry mouth, consti pation and stimulate the appetite. “Not everyone wants to take medi cation for their depression,” Mur phy said. “They may have had unsat isfactory results with drug therapy or they may just not be psychologi cally as tht ey . . . cally disposed to accept medication e appropriate treatment.

An even more promising footnote to the study, Murphy said, is the in dication that patients who receive cognitive therapy may stay unde pressed longer than those who re ceive drug therapy. Murphy said therapy may not be the answer for all depressed pa tients, because of the time and high cost involved, but has been proven effective for those who would rather help themselves or cannot tolerate the side effects of antidepressants. Murphy said the most important goal for depression victims is to teach them to have a sense of worth. oLidaxj c^cujincji ZO^fo oj'j' i) jewelry items thru Dec. 15, 1984 [l^tougLai Cj.tLwtLL’Uj Culpepper Plaza College Station 693-0677 or 21 2 N.
