'''Management of depression''' is the treatment of [[Depression (mood)|depression]] that may involve a number of different therapies: medications, [[behavior therapy]], [[psychotherapy]], and [[medical device]]s.
 
[[Depression (mood)|Depression]] is a symptom of some physical diseases; a [[side effect]] of some drugs and medical treatments; and a symptom of some [[mood disorders]] such as [[major depressive disorder]] or [[dysthymia]].<ref name="DSM-5(2013)">{{cite book |title= Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders | edition = Fifth Edition (DSM-5) |year= 2013 |publisher= American Psychiatric Association }}</ref> Physical causes are ruled out with a [[Major depressive disorder#Clinical assessment|clinical assessment of depression]] that measures vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, and hormones.<ref name="Parker_2017">{{cite journal | vauthors = Parker GB, Brotchie H, Graham RK | title = Vitamin D and depression | journal = Journal of Affective Disorders | volume = 208 | pages = 56–61 | date = January 2017 | pmid = 27750060 | doi = 10.1016/j.jad.2016.08.082 }}</ref><ref name="Orengo_2004">{{cite journal | vauthors = Orengo CA, Fullerton G, Tan R | title = Male depression: a review of gender concerns and testosterone therapy | journal = Geriatrics | volume = 59 | issue = 10 | pages = 24–30 | date = October 2004 | pmid = 15508552 }}</ref><ref name="Dale_2008">{{cite journal|vauthors=Dale J, Sorour E, Milner G|year=2008|title=Do psychiatrists perform appropriate physical investigations for their patients?

[[Emotionally focused therapy]], founded by Sue Johnson and Les Greenberg in 1985, treats depression by identifying and processing underlying emotions. The treatment manual, ''Facilitating emotional change'', outlines treatment techniques.<ref>{{cite book | vauthors = Greenberg LS, Rice LN, Elliott R | title = Facilitating emotional change: the moment-by-moment process. | location = New York | publisher = Guilford Press | date = 1993 }}</ref> This kind of therapy assumes that our emotions have a strong connection to our sense of identity. It believes that if we are able to foster and understand our emotions, our sense of identity will be healed as a result.
 
[[Acceptance and commitment therapy]] (ACT), a mindfulness form of CBT, which has its roots in behavior analysis, also demonstrates that it is effective in treating depression, and can be more helpful than traditional CBT, especially where depression is accompanied by anxiety and where it is resistant to traditional CBT.<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Ruiz FJ |year=2010 |title=A review of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) empirical evidence: Correlational, experimental psychopathology, component and outcome studies |journal=International Journal of Psychology and Psychological Therapy |volume=10 |issue=1 |pages=125–62 |url=http://www.ijpsy.com/volumen10/num1/256.html |access-date=2013-04-30 |archive-date=2012-02-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120223144433/http://www.ijpsy.com/volumen10/num1/256.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=APA website on empirical treatments |url=http://www.div12.org/PsychologicalTreatments/treatments.html |access-date=2009-09-01 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101005034058/http://www.div12.org/PsychologicalTreatments/treatments.html |archive-date=2010-10-05 }}</ref><ref name="evidence">{{cite web |vauthors=Hayes S |author-link=Steven C.

{{see also|List of antidepressants}}
To find the most effective [[pharmaceutical drug]] treatment, the dosages of medications must often be adjusted, different combinations of antidepressants tried, or antidepressants changed.{{citation needed|date=April 2023}} Some of the medications have side effects that affect certain people in different ways. The combinations of medication can change these side effects, so it is essential to monitor the changes that occur once we begin medication.
 
=== Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors ===
[[Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors]] (SSRIs), such as [[sertraline]] (Zoloft, Lustral), [[escitalopram]] (Lexapro, Cipralex), [[fluoxetine]] (Prozac), [[paroxetine]] (Seroxat), and [[citalopram]], are the primary medications considered, due to their relatively mild side effects and broad effect on the symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as reduced risk in overdose, compared to their older tricyclic alternatives. Those who do not respond to the first SSRI tried can be switched to another. If sexual dysfunction is present prior to the onset of depression, SSRIs should be avoided.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Sutherland JE, Sutherland SJ, Hoehns JD | title = Achieving the best outcome in treatment of depression | journal = The Journal of Family Practice | volume = 52 | issue = 3 | pages = 201–209 | date = March 2003 | pmid = 12620174 | url = http://www.jfponline.com/Pages.asp?AID=1406 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20091002083433/http://www.jfponline.com/Pages.asp?AID=1406 | archive-date = 2009-10-02 }}</ref> Another popular option is to switch to the atypical antidepressant [[bupropion]] (Wellbutrin) or to add bupropion to the existing therapy;<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Zisook S, Rush AJ, Haight BR, Clines DC, Rockett CB | title = Use of bupropion in combination with serotonin reuptake inhibitors | journal = Biological Psychiatry | volume = 59 | issue = 3 | pages = 203–210 | date = February 2006 | pmid = 16165100 | doi = 10.1016/j.biopsych.2005.06.027 | s2cid = 20997303 }}</ref> this strategy is possibly more effective.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Rush AJ, Trivedi MH, Wisniewski SR, Stewart JW, Nierenberg AA, Thase ME, Ritz L, Biggs MM, Warden D, Luther JF, Shores-Wilson K, Niederehe G, Fava M | display-authors = 6 | title = Bupropion-SR, sertraline, or venlafaxine-XR after failure of SSRIs for depression | journal = The New England Journal of Medicine | volume = 354 | issue = 12 | pages = 1231–1242 | date = March 2006 | pmid = 16554525 | doi = 10.1056/NEJMoa052963 | doi-access = free }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Trivedi MH, Fava M, Wisniewski SR, Thase ME, Quitkin F, Warden D, Ritz L, Nierenberg AA, Lebowitz BD, Biggs MM, Luther JF, Shores-Wilson K, Rush AJ | display-authors = 6 | title = Medication augmentation after the failure of SSRIs for depression | journal = The New England Journal of Medicine | volume = 354 | issue = 12 | pages = 1243–1252 | date = March 2006 | pmid = 16554526 | doi = 10.1056/NEJMoa052964 | doi-access = free }}</ref> It is not uncommon for SSRIs to cause or worsen insomnia; the sedating [[noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant]] (NaSSA) antidepressant [[mirtazapine]] (Zispin, Remeron) can be used in such cases.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Mayers AG, Baldwin DS | title = Antidepressants and their effect on sleep | journal = Human Psychopharmacology | volume = 20 | issue = 8 | pages = 533–559 | date = December 2005 | pmid = 16229049 | doi = 10.1002/hup.726 | s2cid = 17912673 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Winokur A, DeMartinis NA, McNally DP, Gary EM, Cormier JL, Gary KA | title = Comparative effects of mirtazapine and fluoxetine on sleep physiology measures in patients with major depression and insomnia | journal = The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry | volume = 64 | issue = 10 | pages = 1224–1229 | date = October 2003 | pmid = 14658972 | doi = 10.4088/JCP.v64n1013 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Lawrence RW | title = Effect of mirtazapine versus fluoxetine on "sleep quality" | journal = The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry | volume = 65 | issue = 8 | pages = 1149–1150 | date = August 2004 | pmid = 15323610 | doi = 10.4088/JCP.v65n0818i | doi-access = free }}</ref>
