 Depressive disorders are more common in patients
with physical illness than in those without. Recent advances in
psychiatric treatments, including brief, focused psychological
therapies and increasingly selective medications, have now given us
the opportunity to make a significant impact on both the physical
and mental health of this previously neglected patient group.
The aim of this module is to help general psychiatrists in the
diagnosis and treatment of depression of these patients, with
particular emphasis on the choice of antidepressant.
The module will take you through some of the
key points with regard to:
- the relationship between physical and depressive illness
- management and treatment.
