Course overview

The American Psychological Association developed this clinical practice guideline to provide recommendations for the treatment of depressive disorders (including major depression, subsyndromal depression, and persistent depressive disorder). It addresses three developmental cohorts: children and adolescents; general adults; and older adults (ages 60 and over). Ten systematic reviews and meta-analyses, along with other literature and observations from practitioners and patients, served as the basis for the guideline. The guideline development panel consisted of health professionals from psychology, psychiatry, and primary care as well as community members who self identified as having had depression. The panel examined the efficacy of psychological treatments and of complementary and alternative medicine treatments. It also examined comparative effectiveness among psychological treatments (by themselves and in combination with pharmacotherapy) and comparative effectiveness of psychological treatments in relation to pharmacotherapy and to complementary and alternative treatments. The panel made no treatment recommendations specific to children but did make recommendations for treatment of depression in adolescents, adults, and older adults. These recommendations are detailed in the guideline. This course is based on the reading-based online article, APA Clinical Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Depression Across Three Age Cohorts created by American Psychological Association in 2019.
