Depression in the medically ill: an overview
G Rodin and K Voshart
Depressive symptoms and syndromes are common in the medically ill, although
they are frequently unrecognized and untreated. The authors review the
epidemiology, differential diagnosis, clinical presentations, and response
to treatment of this clinical problem. They address such methodological
issues in the current literature in this area as the advantages and
limitations of standardized assessment measures and discuss treatment
modalities for depression in the medically ill, including antidepressant
medication and ECT. This clinical problem warrants attention for a variety
of reasons: its prevalence, associated morbidity, and treatability.
Elucidation of the mechanisms of depression in the medically ill may also
contribute to a broader understanding of depression in other populations.
