How is Depressiondifferent from Sadness?
SadnessIn response to stressful, life-changing events such as the death of a loved
one, the loss of a relationship or employment, the natural reaction is
sadness, discouragement and frustration. These emotions shouldgradually dissipate on their own after a few days or weeks.
DepressionWhen these feelings last for two weeks or longer and start to interferewith the activities of daily living such as work, family or relationships,
this low mood may be clinical depression.

mid-twenties
Major depressive disorder (MDD) affects 6-8% of
adolescents
Most people who develop MDD experience their first
episode between the ages of 14-24
Youth onset of MDD usually develops into a chroniccondition with substantial morbidity, poor economic/
vocational/ interpersonal outcomes and increased
morbidity (from suicide and, in the long term, from
other chronic illness: diabetes, heart disease, etc)

Adolescent Depression
Effective treatments that can be provided by first
contact health providers are available
Early identification and early effective treatment can
decrease short-term morbidity and improve long-term
outcomes (including decreased mortality)

Always associated with a
precipitating event
Functional impairment is
usually mild
Transientwill usually
ameliorate with change in
environment
Professional intervention not
usually necessary
May be associated with aprecipitating event
Functional impairment may
range; mildsevere
Long lasting or may be chronic,environment may modify butnot ameliorate
External validation (syndromal)
Professional intervention isusually necessary
Distress Disorder

How do you monitor the treatment
of depression?
Since depression is a chronic and recurrent illness it is important to
closelymonitor the patients symptoms and be awareofpotential relapses.
The PHQ-9 is a good tool to monitor the response to treatment.
It is important to initially meet with patients at least once every
weekor two weeks until there is a clear improvement. At this pointit is appropriate to meet with patients each month.
