Abstract
“Do you feel depressed at times?” “Do you ever feel that life is not worth living?” “Have you ever thought about ending your life?” Asking such questions during history taking may help save the life of a patient struggling with depression. Dr Citrome describes the diagnostic criteria for major depression and discusses current treatment options, including traditional antidepressant drugs and the newer serotonin-reuptake inhibitors.Keywords
