Abstract
Treatment of major depression can in most cases be handled by the primary care physician who is willing and able to take the time. The minority of patients who pose particular problems in diagnosis or treatment should be referred to a psychiatrist. Primary care physicians are encouraged to regard major depression as being as much within their scope as other common disorders. After pharmacotherapy and office counseling, some patients may need psychotherapy to help them alter patterns of thinking and interaction that contribute to depression.
