A2 - Whalen, Karen PY - 2015 T2 - Medication Therapy Management: A Comprehensive Approach AB - Depression is a common and chronic disease that can cause serious harm to patients and increases the risk of death.Treatment goals for depression include acutely reducing symptoms, helping the patient return to a full level of functioning, and preventing a future episode or relapse.Medications commonly used to treat depression include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (eg, sertraline), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (eg, venlafaxine), bupropion, and tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline).MTM providers should advise care when patients switch between antidepressants to avoid withdrawal symptoms and ensure a consistent therapeutic response.Patients with depression should be assessed for suicide risk, and MTM providers should be familiar with supportive resources for patients expressing suicidal ideation.
