Recognition and management of depression in general practice: consensus statement
Open accessAbstract
E S Paykel, R G Priest, on behalf of conference participantsDepression is a frequently occurring psychiatric dis- order, and most depressed patients in the United Kingdom are treated in general practice.The Royal College of Psychiatrists, in association with the Royal College of General Practitioners, has embarked on a "defeat depression" campaign.'Anticipating that an increased proportion of the large numbers of the general population who do not at present receive treatment for depressive illness will present to helping agencies, the two colleges are preparing professional educational materials and guidelines.In recent years there has been a great deal of new knowledge regarding diagnosis, recognition, and effects of treatment.Two consensus meetings in which participants were mainly representatives of the two colleges, together with other experts, were therefore held in 1991 to consider, firstly, diagnosis and recog- nition (21 October 1991) and, secondly, management (15 November 199 1).Specific questions were addressed by a presenter with a prepared paper, and a discussant, followed by extensive general discussion to reach an agreed consensus, which was circulated to participants for further approval.We present views that reflect the agreed conclusions.We emphasise, however, that they do not necessarily reflect the official policy of either of the two colleges.They are intended to form guidelines which we hope will be useful in practice and also in audit.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
