Overview
Depression isthe mostcommon psychiatric disorder. It is frequently managed by non­specialists,soagoodunderstandingofsymptomsandbasicmanagementisimportantfor allmedicalprofessionals.
Diagnosis
History/diagnosticcriteria
Usethefollowingscreeningquestionstostartanassessment:
Haveyoufeltdepressed,lowinmood,orhopelessinthelastmonth? Haveyouhadlittlepleasureorinterestindoingthingsinthepastmonth?
Iftheanswertoeitherquestionisyes,thepatientshouldbeassessedmorefully.

Consider using a validated measure such as the PHQ-9 questionnaire (available at
https://www.mdcalc.com/phq-9-patient-health-questionnaire-9).
Historyshouldconsidersymptoms,durationofsymptoms,andtheextentoffunctional
impairmentthatthesymptomsarecausing.
Symptoms:
Persistentlowmood Lossofinterest/pleasure Fatigue Worthlessnessorexcessiveguilt Suicidalthoughts Poorconcentrationorindecision Psychomotorretardationoragitation Insomniaorhypersomnia Changesinappetiteorweight Psychoticsymptoms.
Consider whether the patient has any history of mood elevation, i.e. whether the depressionmayactuallybepartofbipolardisorder(seeChapter37).
Severityofdepression
Subthreshold=fewerthanfivesymptoms,noclearfunctionalimpairment Mild=approximatelyfivesymptoms,onlymildfunctionalimpairment Moderate=symptomsandimpairmentbetweenmildandsevere Severe=mostsymptoms,markedfunctionalimpairment,withorwithoutpsychoticsymptoms.
Thehistoryshouldalsoinclude:
Previoushistoryofdepressionandtreatmentstrialled Psychiatricandmedicalhistory Interpersonalrelationships Socialcircumstances Alcoholanddrugabuse Riskofsuicideandself-harm(seeChapter44).
Ifthepatientisatimmediateriskofsuicideorself-harm,referurgentlytospecialist services.

Amentalstateexaminationmayrevealthesymptomslistedpreviously. Ageneralphysicalexaminationshouldalsobeperformedtoconsideralternativeexplanationsfor depression, e.g. hypothyroidism (see Chapter 23), hypoadrenalism (see Chapter 14), hypercalcaemia(seeChapter16).
Investigations
Nospecificinvestigationisrequired,althoughsomeinvestigationsmaybeusefultohelpeliminate differentialdiagnoses,e.g.TFT,calciumlevels.
Management
Managementstages
Stage1:anypresentationofdepression:
Identification,assessment,education,activemonitoring
Stage2:persistentsubthresholdormild–moderatedepression:
Low-intensitypsychologicalinterventions
Stage3:depressionwithpoorresponsetostage2managementORmoderate–severedepression:
High-intensitypsychologicalinterventionsand/orpharmacologicaltreatment
Stage4:severedepressionORhighriskofself-harmorself-neglectORcomplexcomorbidities:
specialisttreatment.
Patienteducation
Givepatientsdetailsofself-helpandsupportgroups Ensurepatientsandcarersarebothawareofhowtoaccesshelpwhenneedede.g.crisisteams StJohn’swortisnotrecommendedduetoariskofseriousinteractions,anda lackofevidence regardingdosing.
Lifestyleandsimpleinterventions
Sleephygiene,e.g.establishingregularsleepandwaketimes,avoidingalcoholbeforesleep.
Stage1
Activemonitoringshouldbeconsideredforpatientswhorefuseintervention,orwhomayrecover withoutintervention Provideinformationandreviewin2weeks Ensurecontactismadeifpatientfailstoattendfollow-up.

Psychologicalinterventions
Stage2
If no improvement with stage 1, offer one or more of the following low-intensity psychologicalinterventions:
Self-help GrouporcomputerizedCBT Structuredgroupphysicalactivityprogramme.
Stage3
The following high-intensitypsychologicalinterventions should be used in conjunction withmedication.Theyshouldalsobeusedifstage2treatmentswereunsuccessful:
CBT Interpersonaltherapy Behaviouralactivation(aformoffunctionalanalyticpsychotherapy) Behaviouralcouplestherapy.
Pharmacologicalmanagement
Pharmacological management is used for stage 3 patients, in conjunction with a high­intensitypsychologicalintervention.Itshouldalsobeconsideredfor:
Stage2patientswithahistoryofmoderate–severedepression Long-term(>2years)subthresholdpatients Stage2patientswhohavenotrespondedtootherinterventions.
Antidepressantprescribing
SSRIs (e.g. fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, citalopram) are first line. Considerations whenpickingandprescribingamedicationincludethefollowing:

Interactions—fluoxetineandparoxetinearemorelikelytocauseinteractionsthanotherSSRIs Discontinuationsymptoms—morelikelywithparoxetine Sideeffects:
Considerthelikelihoodofthepatientstoppingthedrugduetosideeffects Sometimesitmaybehelpfultoco-prescribeabenzodiazepineforupto2weekstohelpwith theinitialsideeffectsofanxietyandagitation SSRIs increase the risk of GI bleeding, so co-prescribing gastroprotection should be
considered Monitoringrequirements,e.g.monitoringforhypertensionwithvenlafaxineandduloxetine Time to effect—the patient should be made aware that it takes time for the full effect to be achieved,usuallyatleast2weeks Alternative options, e.g. tricyclic antidepressants (TCA). Combinations of medication may be consideredontheadviceofaconsultantpsychiatrist.
Consider toxicity in the event of overdose when prescribing, and whether the quantityof drugsuppliedat anygiven time shouldbe limited inthe interests of patientsafety.
Switchingantidepressants
Ifaswitchisneeded,itispreferabletoswitchtoanotherSSRI.Thesecond-lineoptionis to switch to an antidepressant of a different class, e.g. serotonin and noradrenaline reuptakeinhibitors(SNRIs),TCAs,ormonoamineoxidaseinhibitors(MAOIs).
Thefollowingmedicationsrequireparticularcautionwhenswitchingbetweenthem:
Fluoxetinetoanyotherantidepressant—fluoxetinehasalonghalf-life Fluoxetine/paroxetine to a TCA—both medications inhibitthemetabolismofTCAs, so a lower startingdoseshouldbeused SwitchingtoserotonergicantidepressantsorMAOIs—riskofserotoninsyndrome Switching from non-reversible MAOIs—long washout period. Other antidepressants should be avoidedfor2weeks.
Electroconvulsivetherapy
Indications:
Severeorlife-threateningdepression,wherearapidresponseisrequired,orothertreatmentshave failed Moderate depression which has not responded to multiple drug treatments or psychological therapies Previousgoodresponsetoelectroconvulsivetherapyorpatientchoice.

Comorbiditiesandanaestheticrisk Side effects: there is some evidence regarding cognitive impairment as an adverse effect, especiallyintheelderly.Thisshouldbereassessedregularly ConsiderwhetherthepatienthascapacitytogiveinformedconsentundertheMentalCapacityAct andwhethertheMentalHealthActisrelevant(seeChapter112forconsentandcapacity) If the patient responds well, an antidepressant (± a mood stabilizer such as lithium) should be startedforrelapseprevention.
Psychosocialconsiderations
Supportcarersandencouragethemtobealerttomoodchangesandsuicidalideationinthepatient Befriending and rehabilitation programmes may be helpful for patients with long-standing moderateorseveredepression.
Monitoringandfollow-up
Ifnotathighriskofsuicide
Followupafter2weeks Ifresponding,followup2–4-weeklyforthefirst3months After3months,increaseintervalsasappropriate.
Ifathighriskofsuicideorage<30years
Followupafter1week,thenasfrequentlyasisappropriate.
Treatmentmonitoring
Ifnoimprovementat2–4weeks,reviewmedicationcompliance Ifminimalimprovementat3–4weeksofusingatherapeuticdose,considerincreasingthedoseor switchingthemedication,andprovidingadditionalpsychologicalsupport Ifthereissomeimprovementat4weeks,continuethetreatmentforafurther2–4weeks.Consider switchingifinadequateresponseorunabletotoleratesideeffects.
Stoppingmedication
Medicationshouldbeusedforatleast6monthspostremission,oratleast2yearsifhighriskof relapse(usuallyattreatmentdose) Informpatientaboutpossiblediscontinuationsymptoms,e.g.insomnia,sweating,restlessness Graduallystopthemedicationoveratleast4weeks(longerifthemedicationhasalonghalf-life) Ifdiscontinuationsymptomsaresignificant,itmaybenecessarytorestartthemedicationandtitrate itdownevenmoregradually Aimforthepatienttobestableonaslittlemedicationaspossible(whichmaybenoneatall).
