This draft national clinical practice guideline was commissioned by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and developed within the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health (NCCMH). The guideline is intended for adults with depression and chronic health problems and covers the care provided by primary, community, secondary, tertiary and other healthcare professionals who have contact with, and make decisions concerning the care of, adults with depression and chronic health problems. It makes recommendations for the treatment and management of people with depression and chronic health problems, starting with an introduction to the topic of depression and chronic physical health problems and an explanation of the methods used to develop the guideline, and then providing the evidence that underpins the recommendations about the treatment and management of people with depression and chronic health problems, including personal accounts from service users and carers offering an insight into their experience, and looking at the identification of depression in people with chronic physical health problems, service-led interventions, psychosocial interventions, and pharmacological interventions.
