How can we diagnose Depression ? |
|
Text 
|
The first step to getting appropriate treatment is a complete physical and psychological evaluation to determine whether the patient has depressive illness, and of what type it is. A good diagnostic evaluation also will include a complete history of the symptoms, i.e., when they started, how long they have lasted, how severe they are, whether the patient had them before and, if so, whether they were treated and what treatment they received. Alcohol and drug abuse should be asked about. Further, a history should include questions about whether other family members have had a depressive illness. Last, a diagnostic evaluation will include a mental status examination to determine the speech and memory pattern. |
