The pharmacological management of depression.

R T Joffe.   

Abstract

Antidepressants, given in the correct dosage and for an adequate period of time, are very effective in the treatment of the majority of cases of primary depressive illness. In this review, a rational approach to the pharmacological management of depression is discussed. The relative advantages and problems associated with the various types of antidepressants are reviewed. The role of benzodiazepines in the management of depression is considered.
