Recent Advances in Psychological Depression Treatment in Primary Care

Abstract

Saleem Ahmad

In recent years, it has become evident that e-health apps can be used to administer psychotherapies in an efficient manner. Furthermore, numerous studies in low- and middle-income nations have demonstrated that lay health counsellors can offer psychiatric therapy in an efficient manner. It has been discovered that the comparatively straightforward therapy known as behavioural activation is just as successful as cognitive behaviour therapy. It has been discovered that treating sub threshold depression can delay the onset of major depression as well as minimise depressed symptoms. Additionally, therapies work well for patients with general medical conditions, elderly persons, and perinatal depression. The majority of patients prefer psychological therapies over pharmacological treatments for depression, and they may be used flexibly with various target populations and application formats. Psychological therapies also offer longer-lasting effects than drug treatments.
