Treatment of depression Sample Clauses

Treatment of depression. In the UK, the NICE guidelines (NICE, 2009) recommend using a stepped-care model in the treatment of adults with depression, whereby service users are treated at the lowest appropriate service tier in the first instance, only 'stepping up' to more intensive or specialist services as clinically required. The stepped-cared model for depression is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1- Stepped care model for depression (NICE, 2009) According to NICE (2009), all patients should be offered an assessment/screening that focuses on their presenting problem, and includes a risk assessment and referral to the appropriate service depending on their needs (step 1). Patients presenting with mild to moderate depression, are offered guided self-help and computerised CBT, and a structured group physical activity programme (step 2). Patients presenting with moderate or severe depression are offered high intensity psychological interventions (CBT or Interpersonal Therapy), antidepressant medication or a combination (step 3). Both steps 2 and 3 are provided within primary care by the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) 2 services. Patients with complex and severe depression are referred to specialist mental health services who develop comprehensive multidisciplinary care plans in collaboration with the patient (step 4); and inpatient care is considered when there is a significant risk of suicide, self-harm, or self-neglect (step 5). All participants recruited for the current study were on the waiting list of IAPT services to receive psychological therapy (see Method section), and therefore were likely to be at step 3 on the stepped care model. NICE (2009) also makes recommendations regarding psychological interventions for relapse prevention in depression, and these include individual CBT for patients with a history of depression and residual symptoms, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) for remitted depressed patients who have experienced three or more previous episodes of depression. Mindfulness-based interventions and their efficacy in the treatment of depression will be reviewed in the next section.
