Summary:

Depression is a pandemic problem, affecting all segments of our population regardless of age, race, or socioeconomic status. While brief bouts of depression are a normal part of living, major depression profoundly impairs a person's functional ability and costs our society millions of dollars in lost wages and health care utilization. Debilitating as it is, depression often goes unrecognized in the primary care setting. Dr. Deltito provides some background on depression and offers tips for clinically recognizing this common problem. He discusses the role of screening and reviews current treatments. Dr. Deltito also reviews depression in three special patient populations: children, new mothers, and those with seasonal affective disorder. The program concludes with case presentations that demonstrate how to evaluate depression in a clinical setting.
