    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
