Understanding Depression: Symptoms, Causes, Risks, and Effective Treatment

Depression is a commonly misused term and, alarmingly, a frequently mismanaged condition. In this concise guide, authors Mark Haddad and Philip Boyce aim to educate readers on the intricacies of depression, covering its symptoms, causes, and risks, as well as its impact on individuals and how it can be identified, treated, and prevented.

As one of the most prevalent presenting problems in primary care, depression often goes unidentified and untreated. However, with the right knowledge, skills, and support systems, healthcare professionals (HCPs) can provide effective treatment to individuals seeking help. To achieve this, HCPs require access to up-to-date evidence-based information and resources.

This vital resource is part of the effort to bridge the gap in depression care. With its comprehensive coverage of the condition, this text serves as an indispensable tool for HCPs, individuals, and families affected by depression.
