Setting the Stage for MDD Recovery: Strategies for the Busy Primary Care Provider
| Overview / Abstract: |
In the United States, most adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) are treated by primary care providers (PCPs). Therefore, it is essential that PCPs are adept at using patient-centered care to set the stage for MDD recovery. In particular, PCPs must be prepared to detect and respond to two of the most common threats to recovery: residual MDD symptoms and intolerable side effects of antidepressants. In these articles, 2 expert faculty members discuss how busy PCPs can optimize MDD care by implementing shared decision making; employing measurement-based care; identifying and managing MDD residual symptoms and antidepressant side effects; and switching patients to new antidepressants when necessary. Two patient cases illustrate evidence-based approaches to common clinical scenarios. |
