Depression in medical practice
Am Fam Physician.
1988 Dec.
Abstract
Depressive symptoms may be produced by many drugs and diseases. A physical examination, systems review and medical history should be included in the evaluation of any patient presenting with depressive symptoms. The same criteria for major depression should be applied to patients in psychiatric and nonpsychiatric settings. Tricyclic agents may be effective in treating depressive symptoms associated with medical illness.
