Major depression can be successfully managed in general medical settings.2- 3 Specifically, through the use of depression-care management strategies, evidence-based practice can be imported into primary care settings, doubling response rates seen in usual care, accelerating recovery, and reducing the burden of depressive symptoms, suicidal ideation, disability, and caregiver distress.2- 3 However, because first-line treatment is associated with only partial response for half of patients2- 3 and because most patients, even those with first episodes of major depression, often need long-term maintenance treatment to prevent or delay recurrence,4 preventing depression in later life should be a high public-health priority.
