The American Psychiatric Association Treatment Guideline for Major Depressive Disorder: process and content
Open accessAbstract
Dr. Gelenberg has been a member of the American Psychiatric Association's Workgroup on the Treatment Guideline for Major Depressive Disorder since its inception in the 1980s. For the past several years, he has chaired the workgroup writing the 3rd edition, which should be published in late 2009. This talk will review the history of this work, discuss guidelines broadly in the current era of evidence-based medicine, define epistemology and its relevance, and describe the process of developing a treatment guideline--the scientific and the political. The talk will then outline recent changes in the treatment of depression-medications, stimulation approaches, psychotherapy, and others. It will conclude with a preview of the future in this area.

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.
