title: Depression 2: Exploring management options for adults with moderate to severe symptoms.
abstract: The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence recently updated its guideline on treating and managing depression in adults. The first part of this two part unit covered the identification, assessment and initial management of persistent subthreshold depressive symptoms and mild to moderate depression. This second part looks at the core treatments for moderate to severe depression, as well as mild to moderate depression and persistent subthreshold symptoms that have not responded to low intensity interventions.
