Overview Before the Covid-19 pandemic began, approximately 6.5% of the population in the US had symptoms of MDD. Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the proportion of the US population reporting MDD symptoms has increased to 21-30% during any one time period measured. NPs are important members of the healthcare team responsible for screening, identifying and treating MDD. This monograph activity contains text, infographics, tables and case studies to prepare you to screen, identify, treat and monitor patients with MDD.
Objectives - Compare new and emerging pharmacologic treatment options for patients with MDD, including initial treatments, and those for patients with an inadequate initial response or treatment-refractory MDD.
- Evaluate the importance of prompt diagnosis of MDD to prevent negative effects on patient quality of life, morbidity, and mortality.
- Measure response to antidepressant treatment to assess if a patient will benefit from alternative or adjunctive interventions.
- Apply evidence-based and guideline-recommended strategies for the individualization of antidepressant treatment options.
