Managing depression among people with HIV disease.
Many people with HIV suffer from depression, which responds to antidepressants, counseling, education, and cognitive strategies. Untreated depression hinders treatment compliance and increases risk of suicide. Management and complications of major depression are described. The evaluation of rational suicide is examined. Clinicians who treat this population need to respond therapeutically to patients with depression and suicidal ideas.
