Abstract: |
The published version of the full evidence-based clinical guideline on common mental health disorders: identification and pathways to care (Clinical Guideline 123), commissioned by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). This guideline aims to help clinicians and service commissioners in providing and planning high-quality care for people with a common mental health disorder, while emphasising the importance of the experience of care for them and their families and carers. It covers depression and anxiety disorders, including phobias, obsessive compulsive disorders and post traumatic stress disorders. The first three chapters provide a summary of the clinical practice and research recommendations, a general introduction to guidelines and the topic, and to the methods used to develop the guideline. Chapter 4 to Chapter 7 cover provide the evidence that underpins the recommendations. These chapters cover: access to healthcare; assessment; risk assessment and outcome monitoring; systems for organising and developing local care pathways. The final chapter provides a summary of the recommendations. The guideline is relevant to those providing primary, community and secondary care, and other healthcare professionals who have direct contact with and make decisions concerning the care of adults with common mental health disorders. It is also relevant for, though doesn't cover the work of, social services. |
