Psychiatric consult and depressive disorder
- Psychiatrická klinika FN a LF UP, Olomouc
Depression is a common problem in consultation-liaison psychitry. Recent years have brought more systematic knowledge on the links
between depression and somatic disease, particularly between depression and cardiovascular diseases. The paper summarizes the basic
issues that need to be addressed when diagnosing and determining treatment for depression during a psychiatric consult. Consult services
and depression in gynaecological and paediatric patients are also dealt with. A consultation-liaison psychiatrist cannot be content with the
„depressed mood > depression > antidepressant“ algorithm; his considerations and recommendations must be based on the best possible
understanding of the particular patient and his situation.
Keywords: depression, depressogenic drugs, suicide, depression in gravidity.
