Primary Care of the Womens Health
Unit 10
Discussion
Depression is a common psychiatric disorder in children,
adolescents, adults, and the elderly. Primary care providers, not mental health
professionals, treat the majority of patients with symptoms of depression.
Persons who are depressed have feelings of sadness, loneliness, irritability,
worthlessness, hopelessness, agitation, and guilt that may be accompanied by an
array of physical symptoms as well as substance abuse. Identifying patients
with depression and substance abuse can be difficult in busy primary care settings
where time is limited, but certain depression/substance abuse screening tools
may help diagnose the disorder.
Discuss a screening tool that can be used in the primary
care setting that can help with the identification of patients with depression
and or substance abuse. What is your responsibility as a primary care provider
to this patient once a disorder has been identified?
