FULLY TREATING DEPRESSION, COGNITIVE SYMPTOMS AND ALL

Posted in Access to Treatment

Care for Your Mind


Over the past several weeks, Care for Your Mind posts have articulated the “gold
standard” of depression treatment: that it should be tailored for each
individual living with depression, selected through a process of shared decision
making that takes into account the person’s goals, priorities, and preferences.
Based on those criteria, it’s reasonable for people living with depression and
their families to expect to receive quality depression treatment from their
primary care providers, particularly for the first and perhaps second medical
treatment regimen. In this final post of the series, we underscore the
importance of fully treating depression, meaning that treatment should not be
considered completed until residual symptoms have been alleviated.

DEPRESSION TREATMENT: FINDING AFFORDABLE THERAPY

Posted in Access to Treatment

Kimberly Morrow, LCSW

Editor’s Note: Over the course of the past several posts on depression
treatment, we’ve focused on matching the treatment to the person. For most
people with moderate to severe depression, medication is an element of
treatment. Thus, the series includes discussion about making choices among
medications to best align with the person living with depression’s goals,
preferences, and priorities. We also acknowledge that talk therapy is often a
core component of effective treatment and long-lasting wellness. In this
archived post, we share strategies to access therapy services when cost is an
issue.

DEPRESSION TREATMENT IN PRIMARY CARE: TIPS FOR CAREGIVERS

Posted in Access to Treatment

Care for Your Mind

For most people, Primary Care Providers are their most accessible health care
professionals. PCPs (for example, general medicine or family physician, nurse
practitioner) are the first line of care for a host of physical conditions and
are frequently the first to diagnose and treat depression. Because PCPs are busy
and not always attuned to mental health issues – especially as mental health
disorders are often masked by physical complaints and discussion of concerns is
stymied by stigma – it’s important for caregivers of people living with mood
disorders to be educated about depression and prepared to advocate for the
treatment that best fits their loved ones’ goals, preferences, and priorities.

WAYS TO FACILITATE DEPRESSION TREATMENT

Posted in Access to Treatment

Anita H. Clayton, M.D.
Chair, Department of Psychiatry & Neurobehavioral Sciences
University of Virginia School of Medicine

The mental health care system is overburdened, so it’s a comfort to know that
primary care providers are generally capable of starting a person’s depression
treatment. In fact, about two-thirds of antidepressant prescriptions are written
by primary care providers. If you’ve read the past several posts here on Care
for Your Mind (see the list in resources below), you’ll know to communicate with
your health care provider to decide on the treatment that is the best fit for
you. In this post, Dr. Anita Clayton provides you with strategies and helps you
set reasonable expectations for treatment.

FASTER AND EASIER APPROACHES FOR IMPROVING PATIENTS’ DEPRESSION TREATMENT
OUTCOMES

Posted in Access to Treatment

Michael E. Thase, M.D.
Professor of Psychiatry
Director, Mood and Anxiety Disorders Treatment and Research Program
University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine

Depression affects more than 15 million Americans and it’s the leading
underlying factor for people who attempt suicide. Only half of Americans
diagnosed with major depression receive treatment. Because earlier diagnosis and
treatment improve outcomes, mental health screenings should be a top priority.

HOW TO ADDRESS OTHER ISSUES IN DEPRESSION TREATMENT

Posted in Access to Treatment

Anita H. Clayton, M.D.
Chair, Department of Psychiatry & Neurobehavioral Sciences
University of Virginia School of Medicine

For many of us, depression treatment isn’t straightforward, as we encounter
medical, practical, cultural, and other issues. This shouldn’t be seen as reason
for despair, but – with flexibility, creativity, compassion, and an open mind –
an opportunity to create the right treatment plan for each individual.
