• Engagement
• Management

DEPRESSION IN MEDICAL PATIENTS IS COMMON
• 20-50% of patients with diabetes, CAD, PD, MS,
CVA, asthma, cancer... (etc) have MD• Evans et al, Biological Psychiatry 2005 (review)
• Prevalence varies by illness, pathophysiology, severity, and research methodology
• Depressed patients visit PCPs 3x more often than patients not depressed

1. “Have you ever thought life was not worth living?”
2. “Have you had thoughts of hurting yourself”
(if yes, “What have you thought about…?”)
3. “Having a thought and acting on it are different, have you ever made an attempt on your life?”
4. “What are the chances that you would actually hurt yourself?”
5. “If you feel out of control, will you contact me…?”

Potential Consequences of Failing to Achieve Remission
• Increased risk of relapse and resistance1-3
• Continued psychosocial limitations4
• Decreased ability to work and productivity5,6
• Increased cost for medical treatment6
• Sustained depression may worsen morbidity/mortality of other conditions7-9
![Page 38: Depression in Primary Care: Decision Support for Chronic Care Model](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568159e3550346895dc72ed2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
TREATMENT SELECTION:CONSIDER FOUR OPTIONS
• Watchful waiting
• Psychotherapy
• Antidepressant medication
• Combination therapies
![Page 39: Depression in Primary Care: Decision Support for Chronic Care Model](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568159e3550346895dc72ed2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
WATCHFUL WAITING (WW)
• Many depressions remit spontaneously
• WW is an acceptable “treatment plan”
• Initial TOC for minor depression
• Variable intensity of WW
– Low: repeat PHQ only (mild depression)
– Moderate: w/care management (mod. depression)
![Page 40: Depression in Primary Care: Decision Support for Chronic Care Model](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568159e3550346895dc72ed2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
PSYCHOTHERAPY
• Effective (CBT/IPT/PST)– Mild to moderate major depression– Adjunct to antidepressants
• Possibly effective– Dysthymia (chronic depression)– Minor depression– For patients in life transitions or
with personal conflicts
![Page 41: Depression in Primary Care: Decision Support for Chronic Care Model](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568159e3550346895dc72ed2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
PHARMACOTHERAPY
• Effective
– major depression
– chronic depression (dysthymia)
• Equivocal – minor depression

Key Educational Messages
Antidepressants only work if taken every day. Antidepressants are not addictive. Benefits from medication appear slowly. Continue antidepressants even after you feel
better. Mild side effects are common, and usually
improve with time. If you’re thinking about stopping the medication,
call me first. The goal of treatment is complete remission;
sometimes it takes a few tries.
