Overview
Patients with clinical depression should be followed-up four to six weeks following the initiation of the treatment to assess for improvement of symptoms and treatment adherence.[1][2] This is based on clinical practice guidelines by the Veteran Affairs/Department of Defense (VA/DoD) and American Psychiatric Association.
Follow-up
The Veteran Affairs/Department of Defense (VA/DoD) clinical practice guidelines for management of major depressive disorder recommends the following regarding the follow-up of patients:[1]
- The follow-up period from the time of initial diagnosis is four to six weeks.
- At time of follow-up, a repeat PHQ-9 and an evaluation of the risk for suicide should be completed in order to assess treatment response.
- How well treatment was tolerated, adherence to treatment, other influential medical problems, and psychosocial barriers to therapy should also be addressed at the time of follow-up.
Evidence
Two randomized controlled trials found improved outcomes using 'measurement-based care' to monitor patients.[3][4]
A more recent systematic review by the Cochrane Collaboration did not find benefit from measurement-based care.[5] However, the Cochrane review did not include the Comet trial and the trial by Guo. Comet was excluded for choice of outcome and Gui was not mentioned by the Cochrane.
