Major depression is indicated by pervasive depressed mood, sadness and loss of interest and pleasure.
Depression is often complicated by other medical conditions such as chronic medical disorders, chronic pain, anxiety, cognitive impairment, grief/bereavement, and/or substance abuse.
Depression can be treated! Talk to your primary care physician or a mental health specialist.
Primary care is the de facto treatment location for most patients with common mental health conditions like depression and anxiety, with 70% of all antidepressant prescriptions in the United States written by a primary care provider.
Only 30-50% of patients have a full response to the first treatment plan. That means 50-70% of patients need at least one change in treatment.
Only 50% of patients who receive a referral for specialty mental health care ever follow through with the referral. Among those who do, many do not have more than one visit.
