Depression (Episode 1 of 4) — Understanding, Identifying, and Diagnosing | NEJM

Описание: In this first episode of a four-part Double Take video miniseries on depression from the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Scott-Vernaglia recounts her personal experiences with depression. She and Drs. Sanacora, Crawford, Teel, and Anderson discuss the prevalence of depression and the need to empower the primary care physician to screen for, diagnose, and address suicidality. Available therapies for treatment-resistant depression are briefly introduced and will be explored in greater depth in episode 2 of the miniseries.
