Abstract
Diagnosis and treatment of depressive disorders play a major role in primary care. Due to their high prevalence in the general population with a pronounced psychiatric and somatic morbidity and a significant subsequent psychosocial disability, such disorders constitute a serious disease entity. This review provides basic knowledge on epidemiology, diagnosis, pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy to enable successful primary care of this important group of patients.Entities:
