Well they are different for children teens vs adults and severe depression chronic etc but….
The NICE clinical guideline on depression covers:
the care people with depression can expect to receive from their GP or other healthcare professionals, whether they receive treatment in or out of hospital
the information they can expect to receive about their problem and its treatment
what they can expect from treatment, including psychological therapies, drug treatment and electroconvulsive therapy
the kind of services that help people with depression, including your GP, specialist mental health services and hospital care
The guideline looks at depression in people aged 18 years and older, and covers mild to severe depression. It does not specifically look at:
depression in children
dysthymia
postnatal depression
seasonal affective disorder
people with depression who have a separate physical or mental illness
