Anyone with mild or moderate depression can potentially benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy, even without taking medication. A number of studies have shown CBT to be at least as effective as antidepressants in treating mild and moderate depression.
Theraphosids (tarantulas and baboon spiders) are the longest lived spiders having a lifespan of more than 20 years in captivity. Unsurprisingly, all these longest lived spiders are females as males have shorter lifespansâafter reaching maturity (within a year or two) they mate and die.
How Long do Spiders Live? Most spiders typically live for about a year, although up to five to six months of this may well be spent in the egg stage. However, there are some tarantulas that can live for as many as twenty years, and even one species has been known to survive over thirty years in captivity. Then there are some tropical jumping spiders that only live for three months or less.
