Abstract
Community pharmacists play a crucial role in the care of people with depression. This study aimed to evaluate the level of care provided by community pharmacists for clients with depression in Enugu, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among randomly selected community pharmacists in Enugu, Nigeria. The data obtained were analysed descriptively. Approximately 25% of pharmacists perform depression screening, and 14.4% refer clients to psychiatrists. Pharmacists rarely provide information on antidepressant dosage, side effects, frequency, and duration. Community pharmacists in Enugu are not providing effective care to depressed patients. Thus, appropriate interventions are recommended.
