[Guideline-oriented patient information on depression--an example contributing to the provision of sound professional health information for patients and relatives].
It is a prerequisite of sound professional information on the various courses of the disease and available treatment options in order to guarantee that persons affected are actively involved in their individual treatment course or preventive measures. In the following article, guideline-oriented patient information on depression will be presented, which--as a result of a co-operation between AQuMed and the Department of Quality Assurance of the DGPPN--emerged from a series of lay information on psychiatric diseases.
