What is depression and how is it treated?
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a medical illness that affects the way a person feels, thinks, and functions. It is characterized by a persistent depressed mood, loss of interest or pleasure in activities, changes in sleep and appetite, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and, in severe cases, thoughts of death or suicide. Psychiatric treatment for depression combines pharmacotherapy (antidepressants selected according to the patient's profile) with psychotherapy, especially cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which has been shown to be the most effective approach for depression when combined with pharmacotherapy. In Medellín, psychiatrists specializing in depressive disorders conduct a thorough diagnostic evaluation, rule out organic causes (hypothyroidism, anemias), and personalize treatment according to the severity, type of depression, and patient profile to maximize the likelihood of remission.
