Annual Evidence Update on Depression: 6-10 October 2008

An update of the evidence on this topic from the NLH Mental Health Specialist Library.

The Mental Health Specialist Library has searched the four major databases (Cinahl, Embase, Medline and PsycInfo) for the latest evidence on depression published between January 2007 and the end of August 2008. This search retrieved over 2,000 hits (information overload for all but the most hardcore evidence lovers!).

We have sifted the evidence and just retained the high quality research (guidelines, systematic reviews), which we've organised into categories and presented so that you can quickly and easily see what's new, reliable and relevant to you.

The Update also features an audio podcast of interviews with leading experts in the field and will cover the following topics:

1. Incidence and Prevalence
2. Diagnosis
3. Treatment
4. Populations
