Epidemiology of Depression in Primary Care
� Prevalence of 10 ~15% � 1 of 5 most common
conditions in primary care
� Nearly 10% of all primary care office visits are depression related
� PCPs provide about 50% of the outpatient care for depressed pts (the “hidden mental health system”)

Chronic Illness and Depression
� Higher prevalence in patients with co-morbidities� Pain syndromes, diabetes mellitus (DM), heart disease, neurological
disorders, HIV
� Prior depression appears to be a risk factor for development of CAD and diabetes mellitus
� Patients with co-morbid chronic illness and depression have:� More symptoms
� Worse function
� Impaired self care and adherence
� Higher costsEbmeier KP. Lancet. 2006.Katon W. Jnl Psychosom Res. 2002.

Depression and CHD
� Depression is a risk factor for development of CHD
� Depression present in 30%-40% of pts with CHF and in 50% s/p CABG and ACS.
� SADHART RCT: trend towards decreased mortality in depressed pts s/p MI treated with SSRIs

Case Vignette“My Back Hurts...and I Feel Frazzled”
� Mr. P is a 52-year-old small business owner with a history of hypertension and AODM
� He reports 2-3 months of fatigue and chronic, occasionally debilitating back pain treated with OTC analgesics
� He feels “frazzled” by his work and does not do anything for fun anymore
� He denies feeling sad
� The remainder of the history is unremarkable� On physical examination, he has no spinal
tenderness and neurological exam is normal

Treatment RecommendationsProvisional DiagnosisPHQ-9Severity
Adapted from MacArthur Foundation Depression in Primary Care Initiative.
Monitor progress using the PHQ-9
�Wouldn’t treat blood pressure without measuring it at every visit
�Wouldn’t prescribe hypoglycemic agents without following the HgbA1c
�Why accept casual, imprecise monitoring in depression?
Depression and Suicide
� Primary care physicians assess for suicide in patients with depression in only about 1/3 of visits1
� 50% of persons who commit suicide had sought professional help in prior month
�Assess suicide risk� Ideation, intent, plan, availability, lethality� Ask: “This past week, have you had any
thoughts that life is not worth living or that you’d be better off dead?”
� Consider “no suicide contract”

Treatment Options
�Watchful waiting and support
�Antidepressants
�Referral for counseling
�Combination of antidepressants and counseling
Watchful Waiting and Support
�Watchful waiting for mild episode
�Patient self management: UB-PAP (ultra-brief personal action planning)1
� Ask patient to set a specific goal or activity to help improve their depression
� Ask patient to assign a level of confidence to the plan (1 - 10)
� Arrange short term follow-up to assess level of attainment

Depression Stages of Treatment PCPs Adherence to Practice Guidelines
� Most PCPs recognized depression and provided initial treatment
� Most did not screen for EtOH or suicide
� Only 46% of patients completed initial treatment

The STAR*D Trial(Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression)
STAR-D*
�National consortium 23 psychiatric and 18 primary care clinics
�Four levels of treatment, each lasting 14 weeks
�Level 1 = Citalopram; if no remission by 14 weeks patients moved to next level to switch or augment the medication
�Patients and physicians had some choice in treatment
STAR-D* Treatment Levels
� Level 1: 30% achieved remission on citalopram (40 mg/day)
� Level 2 Switch: 1/4 achieved remission on bupropion SR (283 mg/day); sertraline (135 mg/day); or venlafaxine-XR (193 mg/day)
� Level 2 Augmentation: 30% achieved remission: bupropion SR 267 mg/day or buspirone 40 mg/day
� Switching or augmenting with cognitive therapy was equally effective to medication
STAR-D* Take Home Points
� Measurement based care is possible in primary care--use PHQ-9
� If inadequate response in 4-6 weeks and side effects tolerable, increase the dose
� If no remission in 8-12 weeks, 1) augment with bupropion or 2) switch to another agent
� Likelihood of improvement after 2 medication trials is low: 6% additional remission step 2-3
� Consider psychiatric consultation if can’t achieve remission, suspect bipolar disorder, function significantly impaired, or suicidal thoughts persist
� Remission is associated with better prognosis

Late-Life Depression
� 10% of adults > 65 in primary care settings have clinically significant depression
� More common in pts with persistent insomnia and after stressful life events
� Often undetected, especially in men and URM persons
� Older men have highest rates of completed suicide

Patient Requests Improve Quality of Depression Care
� Standardized patients’ requests increased:� Antidepressant prescribing, � Depression history taking,1
� Inquiries about suicide,2
� Guideline based care� Recognition of depression
� Patient requests a two-edged sword� Patient less likely to be under-treated if depressed� Patients more likely to be over-treated if not depressed

Well-being
“The secret of the care of the patient is caring for the patient.”
Peabody 1927
“The secret of the care of the patient is caring for oneself while caring for the patient.”
Candib 1995
Value Determination
“Well-being arises in part from the personal values that we
develop and cherish, as well as the choices we make in our
attempts to honor those values.”
(Feldman and Christensen, 2001)
“Meaning is not something you stumble across, like the answer to a riddle or the prize in a treasure hunt. Meaning is something you build into your life. You build it out of your own past, out of your affections and loyalties . . . out of your own talent and understanding, out of the things you believe in, out of the things and people you love, out of the values for
which you are willing to sacrifice something.”
John Gardner
