I believe the answer is: Cognitive-behavioral therapy combined with anti-depressant medication is the most effective treatment.

The cognitive behavioral therapy is aimed to change the patient's way of thinking that often become a trigger for the psychological distress. The anti-depressant is aimed to reduce the intensity if psychological distress in case if it's reoccurring.
