Assignment 1: Depression Treatment Guidelines

Overview

Review the depression treatment guidelines (APA, VA/DoD, NICE) in clinical resources and compare the recommendations. Which guidelines do you find most useful? Least useful? Why? Compare and contrast each of the guidelines, and provide rationale for which one you are most likely to use as a first-line reference tool going forward in your practice.

Note: For me the most useful of the three guidelines is the APA depression treatment guideline, and the least useful is VA/DoD depression guidelines.
