MCC Objectives (1)


Distinguish between the normal condition of sadness (e.g., bereavement) and the presence
of one of the clinical syndromes (e.g., depressive disorders).
Through efficient, focused, data gathering:






List and interpret critical clinical and laboratory findings which were key in the processes of
exclusion, differentiation, and diagnosis:


Diagnose the presence of depression (depressed mood, loss of interest in all activities, change in
weight/appetite, sleep, energy, libido, concentration, feeling of hopelessness, worthlessness or
guilt, recurrent thoughts of suicide, increase in somatic complaints, withdrawal from others).
Determine intensity and duration (weeks or years) of depression, antecedent event, and its
effect on function.
Determine whether a general medical condition is present, use or abuse of drugs (or
withdrawal).
Examine for slowness of thought, speech, motor activity or signs of agitation such as fidgeting,
moving about, hand-wringing, nail biting, hair pulling, lip biting; examine vital signs, pupils, and
skin for previous suicide attempts, stigmata of drug and/or alcohol use, thyroid gland, weight
loss.
Elicit history of elevated, expansive or irritable mood (for at least 1 week) with impairment in
function or without impairment and lasting only 4 days.
Select patients only when high index of suspicion requires further investigation for medical
condition or drugs that affect mood (e.g., thyroid function, toxicology screen, electrolytes, etc.).
Conduct an effective initial plan of management for a patient with a mood disorder:


Outline and describe treatment available for mood disorders under categories of medications,
physical treatment, and psychologic treatment.
Select patients in need of specialized care.

Overview of
Mood
Disorders
David J. Robinson, Psychiatric
Mnemonics & Clinical Guides, 1998
General
Concepts
Important tips!




All Mood Disorders must cause clinically
significant distress of impairment in social,
occupational, or other important areas of
functioning
DDx always includes substance use or a
general medical condition
Cognitive behavioral therapy is indicated for
almost everything 
Know the name and the starting dose of at
least one medication of each class
ex: citalopram 10 mg
Lifetime Prevalence
 Major


Depressive Disorder
Women = 10-25%
Men = 5-12%
 Dysthymia
= 6%
 Bipolar Disorder


Type I = 0.4-1.6%
Type II = 0.5%
In a family practice setting





Depression is one of the top five diagnoses made
in the offices of primary care physicians
25% of all patients who visit their family physicians
will have a diagnosable mental disorder
The incidence of major depression is 10% in
primary care patients
Effective treatment can reduce morbidity and
decrease utilization of other health services
Medical patients with major depression have a
worse prognosis for their medical recovery
History taking – Key Points (1)


Mood Disorders are usually episodic
An episode is demarcated by either



Switch to an opposite state ex: manic 
depressive
Two months or more of partial or full remission
after an episode
Inquire about current episode, but also past
episodes



Confirm the diagnosis
Evaluate past response to treatment
Evaluate prognosis (inter-episode wellness)
History taking – Key Points (2)
 Inquire
about substance
use and medications
 Ask about family history
and if positive, ask which
treatment was effective
 Always ask about safety
issues!
Major Depressive Episode (1)

5 or more for 2 weeks nearly every day:





Mood depressed*
Sleep ↑↓
Interest ↓, libido ↓, social withdrawal*
Guilt, hopelessness, worthlessness
Energy ↓
Concentration ↓, indecisiveness
Appetite↑↓, weight ↑↓, loss of taste for food
Psychomotor ↑↓
Suicidal ideation, recurrent thoughts about
death
Major Depressive Episode (2)




Many patients with depression do not report
feeling depressed, but will have loss of interest
Elderly patients often have new onset of
somatic complaints but may deny feeling
depressed
Patients can also present with panic attacks
or obsessive-compulsive symptoms
Physical symptoms (sleep, appetite, energy
level, psychomotor activity) are often referred
to as “vegetative symptoms”

New onset of these symptoms can be a good
predictor to antidepressant response
Manic Episode (1)

Abnormal persistent elevated, expansive or
irritable mood lasting at least one week


Any duration if hospitalization is required
At least 3 of (4 if mood is irritable)

Activity ↑

Manic Episode (2)

Mood disturbance is




Causing marked impairment in functioning
Severe enough to necessitate hospitalization to
prevent harm to self or others or
Accompanied by psychotic features
Manic-like episodes induced by a medical
condition, substance or medication do not
count towards Bipolar Affective Disorder
Hypomanic Episode
 Same




criteria of Manic Episode except
Duration > 4 days, < 7 days
Unequivocal change in mood and
functioning from baseline, observable by
others
Change in function is not severe enough to
cause marked impairment in social or
occupational functioning or to necessitate
hospitalization
Absence of psychotic features

Ethics and
Legal
Considerations
Consent to Treatment (1)

MCC objectives:



Patients who are depressed can meet the
criteria for decision capacity, but their
preferences are clouded by their mood disorder
Overriding the wishes of a seemingly capable
patient who is depressed is a serious matter and
is one situation in which psychiatric involvement
should be sought
Decisions to limit care should be deferred if
possible until depression has been adequately
treated
Consent to Treatment (2)

MCC objectives (continued):


If time pressures dictate the need to make a
prompt choice, the physician should seek
surrogate involvement
If the surrogate has previously discussed the
patient's wishes at a time when he or she was
not depressed, the surrogate will be able to
explain whether the patient's choice is
consistent with previously stated beliefs or has
changed since the onset of depression
Consent to Treatment (3)
