“Apply different psychological perspectives to the treatment of depression”
Does that mean biological psychodynamic social learning theory perspectives? Or perspectives from psychologists

I would think based on the question that they are looking for more psychological approaches to the treatment of depression but you could definitely bring in biological as a evaluative point to compare efficacy of the treatments or use biological treatments alongside psychological treatments for optimal outcomes.

The question is asking for psychological perspectives, so I would think they are expecting more psychologically-based approaches so that would not include the biological approach. However, you could use the biological approach as an evaluative point if evaluation is required in this question.

Ah okay, from this I can see how you would apply the biological approach. There is a lot of literature comparing medication with CBT for depression if that is a possible route you're thinking of going down. A good comparison between medication and talking therapy such as CBT is that studies have found that CBT provides longer-term outcomes of treatment but medications offer quicker relief of depressive symptoms. A combo of the two is possibly the optimal treatment. Good luck!!
