Management of Clients with Depression:
Management of Clients with Mood Disorders:A Practical ApproachBrenda Patzel PhD, APRN 1DEPRESSION MANAGEMENT2What have you seen in practice and how common is depression? In the community 2 -4%In primary care 5-10%Medical inpatients 14%
We know anecdotally that depression is endemic in our society today.Studies have estimated that major depression occurs in 2%4% of persons in the community, in 5%10% of primary care patients, and 10%14% of medical inpatients.
In each setting there are two to three times as many persons with depressive symptoms that fall short of major depression criteria. Recent studies have found that in one-third to one-half of patients with major depression, the symptoms persist over a 6-month to one-year 3 Incidence of major depression: Life time occurrence: 20% for Women 12% for MenLess common in the Black populationIncreased with advancing ageAssociated with increasing medical illness and institutionalization
Any ideas why? 4
Risks of untreated or undertreated depression:Depression is associated with: Heart diseaseDiabetesSuicide

5Criteria for Diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder: DSM-IV TRAt least 5 of the following over 2 week time period that represent a change from previous level of functioning.Depressed moodDiminished interest or pleasureSignificant weight loss or gainInsomnia or hypersomniaPsychomotor agitation or retardationFatigue or loss of energyDecreased ability to concentrate; indecisivenessRecurrent thoughts of death and/or suicide
6Symptoms do not meet criteria for Mixed episode.
Cause clinical significant distress and impaired functioning.
Are not due to a direct physiologic effect, substance or general medical condition.
Symptoms are not better accounted for by bereavement.
Symptom last longer than 2 months or are characterized by functional impairment, worthiness, suicidal ideation psychotic symptoms psychomotor retardation.7Underlying PathophysiologyNot clearly definedClinical and pre clinical trials suggest disturbances in monoamines ( Serotonin (5HT), Norepinephrine (NE), Dopamine (DA)Clinical experience indicates complex interaction between neurotransmitter availability, receptor regulation and sensitivity and affective symptoms.
8Theoretically Depression is the Result of:Inefficient or dysfunctional projections of Serotonin (5HT)Norepinephrine (NE)Dopamine (DA) Into the Amygdala and Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex .
VMPFCAmygdala Malfunctioning of certain brain regions manifesting as either hypo or hyperactivity may hypothetically be altered dur to aberrant neuronal activity and information processing, leading to the different presenting symptoms of depression.9Sleep DisturbancesHypoactivation of 5HT, NE, and DAProjections from brainstem nuclei to hypothalamus, thalmus, basal forebrain and prefrontal cortex hypothetically are involved in sleep disturbances
ThalamusHypothalmausPFCBFB10 Guilt/Worthlessness- 5HT projections to the amygdala and the ventromedial prefrontal cortex as part of the emotional brain is thought to effect these. -Projections into the orbital frontal cortex is hypothetically involved in suicide.
OFCVMPFCAmgdala11Theoretical effect of antidepressant actions.Act to normalize the levels of three neurotransmitters By blocking presynaptic monoamine transporters (reuptake pumps)Antagonist activity at presynaptic inhibitory receptor sites, enhancing neurotransmitter release.Inhibition of monoamine oxidase, reducing neurotransmitter breakdown. Support for these theories can be found in clinical experience can be seen with drugs that produce only an acute rise in neurotransmitter availability, such as cocaine and do not have the efficacy over time that antidepressants do. Exposure is necessary to produce a change in symptoms. Together with preclinical research findings, a role for neuronal receptor regulation overt time in response to enhanced neurotransmitter availability.12
Differential Diagnosis-Medical considerations:Mood disorders secondary to CNS conditions and DiseasesInflammatory conditionsSleep disordersEndocrine disordersInfectious processesPharmacologic agentsMood disorders secondary to CNS conditions and Diseases:Organic syndromes. Alzheimer disease, Parkinson's, Huntington disease, MS, stroke, seizure disorders
Inflammatory conditions Lupus,
Sleep disorders- obstructive sleep apnea pt.s partner report , daytime sleepiness, snoring sleep studies
Endocrine disorder s- hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis or thyroid. i.e. Addison, Cushing, hyper and hypothyroidism prolactinomas, hyperparathyroidism
Infectious processes syphilis, Lyme disease, HIV encephalopathy
Pharmacologic agents- antihypertensives, beta blockers, reserpoine, ethyldopa calcium channel blockersSteroids, Estrogens, progesterone, testosterone gondadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist Rx that effect sex hormonesH2 blockers ranitidine, cimetidine sedativesMuscle relaxants,Appetite suppressantsChemotherapy agents,interferon
13Differential Diagnosis Psychiatric considerations:Substance use, abuse, dependenceSeasonal affective disorderDysthymiaAnxiety disordersEating DisordersOther psychiatric disordersSubstance use, abuse, dependenceSignificant mood symptoms, especially with ETOH, cocaine, amphetamines, marijuana, sedatives and narcotics. Inhalant abuse young male pts in particularSeasonal affective disorder- seasonal pattern treated with bright light therapy with or without light therapyDysthymia symptoms of depression low mood primary symptoms may be before MDDO present for at least 2 yearsAnxiety disorders- higher risk for developing co morbid depression.Eating Disorders-Other psychiatric disorders Personality disorders e.g. borderline personality disorder mood changes prominent symptom Hard to differentiate when present with depressed mood as many clients appear as labile, demanding, pr pathologically dependent and may look different after treatment.
14AssessmentAppearance and Affect - hygiene, slowing or increase in motor activityMood and Thought Process- dysphoria, irritability, mood swings, anhedonia, worthlessness, hopelessness, helplessnessPsychosis rule out history of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, substance abuse or organic brain syndrome.expressed as sadness, heaviness15Cognition and Sensorium- Poor memory and concentration. Most commonly no deficits.
Speech Normal, slow, monotonic, or lacking in spontaneity and content. Pressured speech racing thoughts -think mania. Disorganized think psychosis
Thought content Consistent with dysphoric moodAssess for hopelessness, suicidal ideation or thoughts of harm towards others.
History of suicide attempt or violence -Should be noted. Hallucinations and Delusions- command hallucinations, somatic delusions.
16Depression Screening Tests Examples Mood Disorder Questionnaire PHQ-2 and PHQ-9
PHQ- 2 and PHQ-9 Available from : http://www.phqscreeners.com/terms.aspxTools and Scoring;
http://www.cqaimh.org/tool_depscreen.html
17
The PHQ2 includes the first two items of the PHQ-9 and inquires about the frequency of depressed mood and Anhedonia over the past two weeks. The purpose of the PHQ2 is not to establish a final diagnosis or to monitor depression severity but rather to screen for depression as a first step approach.
Scores range from 0-6
18
The PHQ-9 includes the diagnostic criteria from the DSMIVtr with other leading major depressive symptoms into a brief self-report tool.The tool rates frequency of symptoms which facto into the scoring of severity index.Question 9 screens for suicidal ideation.
Follow up questions assign weight.Scoring 19Scoring: 5-9 Minimal SymptomsSupport/educate; Call, Re-check10-14 Minor depression Support, watch Dysthymia, or mild MDD Treat
15-19MDD, moderately severe Treat
>20MDD, severe Treat
For Depression diagsnosis:
Questions 1 and 2 need to be a 2 or 3
Questions 1 -9
Questions 1-8 endorsed as 2 or 3Question 9 as 1, 2, or 3
Endorsed as somewhat difficult or very difficult or extremely difficult
Add the total points for each column 2-4 separately
The total score gives the severity score20PHQ-2 is a first step approach It includes the first two items for the PHQ-9.
Patients who test positive for the PHQ-2 should be further evaluated by the PHQ-9, other diagnostic tests in addition to a direct interview.
Screener OverviewRecognizing signs of mental health disorders is not always easy. The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) is a diagnostic tool for mental health disorders used by health care professionals that is quick and easy for patients to complete. In the mid-1990s, Robert L. Spitzer, MD, Janet B.W. Williams, DSW, and Kurt Kroenke, MD, and colleagues at Columbia University developed the Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders (PRIME-MD), a diagnostic tool containing modules on 12 different mental health disorders. They worked in collaboration with researchers at the Regenstrief Institute at Indiana University and with the support of an educational grant from Pfizer Inc. During the development of PRIME-MD, Drs. Spitzer, Williams and Kroenke, created the PHQ and GAD-7 screeners.
21ANTIDEPRESSANTSSSRIsSNRIsAtypical Antidepressants
CLASSIC ANTIDEPRESSANTSTricyclic (TCAs)MAOI
22SSRIs: Selective Serotonin Act by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin.All have different secondary pharmacological actions Various degrees of SNRI and DNRI effectsVarying degrees of CYP 450 effectsFluoxetine ( Prozac) very long half lifeParoxetine (Paxil) anticholinergic effects good for anxiety; some weak NE effect potent CYP45o inhibitor effects; rapid metabolism problems with discontinuation; sexual dysfunction.Sertraline (Zoloft) acts as dopamine reuptake inhibitor as well; other actions may contribute to anxiolytic effect; may be useful in psychotic depression 23SSRIs ContinuedFluvoxamine (Luvox)- efficacy as an anxiolytic; psychotic depression; OCDCitalopram (Celexa) has a mild antihistamine effect; well tolerated by elderly patients; at lowest dose is inconsistent in therapeutic action requiring increase I dose for effectiveness unfortunately now not to exceed 40mg.Escitalopram (Lexapro)- lowest dose may be more effective; better tolerated with the fewest CYP450 drug reactions.24SNRIs: Serotonin Norepinephrine Reuptake InhibitorsAct on both serotonin and norepinephrine in the prefrontal cortex.Venlafaxine (Effexor)- norepinephrine varies by dose but serotonin is moderately present at all doses; may have discontinuation problems; time released better tolerated.Desvenlafaxine (Pristiq)-greater norepinephrine effect than serotonin; tested for perimenopause effect with good results.Duloxetine (Cymbalta) approved for neuropathic pain; useful for painful physical symptoms of depression; for geriatric depression with concurrent cognitive effects; CYP450 inhibitor, numerous drug interactions needs close monitoring; difficult to treat patients may use higher dose as well as twice a day dosing.25Atypical AntidepressantsBupropion (Wellbutrin)- An NDRI; low levels of NE combined with DA; effect on Striatum and nucleus accumbens useful for cravings (e.g. nicotine withdrawal); stimulating; no sexual dysfunction; contraindicated for patients with a history of seizures Mirtazapine (Remeron) potent 5-Ht2, 5-HT3, alpha-2 receptors result in higher levels of serotonin and NE; very sedating; adverse effects of drowsiness and weight gain improves over time; may have some anxiolytic effect. Trazodone (Desyrel)- very sedating; more often used for sleep than depression.26TCAs :Tricyclic Antidepressants TCAs include: amitriptyline (Elavil), nortriptyline (Pamelor), desipramine (Norpramin), clomipramine (Anafranil), doxepin (Sinequan), imipramine (Tofranil)Used less commonly nowAdvantage is low costDisadvantages considered to be most lethal in overdose; narrow therapeutic windowAdverse effects- anticholinergic and antihistaminic properties include sedation, confusion, dry mouth, constipation, sexual dysfunction, weight gain, cardiac/conduction effectsNot considered for first-line treatment27MAOIsEffective in broad range of affective and anxiety disordersRisk of hypertensive crisis patients must maintain diet low in tyramine.

Patients feel hopeless and depressed but also have significant energy greatest risk for suicide. ETOH further increases risk.46COMORBIDITIESPSYCHIATRIC: Anxiety disorders (92.9%); Substance abuse 71%; Conduct disorder; ADHD; Substance AbuseMEDICAL: Migraines, Thyroid disease, Hypertension, COPD, AsthmaSubstance abuse 46% with clients with Bipolar D.O vs. depressed clients 21%47MisdiagnosisMajor DepressionPersonality DisorderPost Partum Depression
Frequently misdiagnosed some patients sought treatment for 20 years before diagnosisMisdiagnoses has significant impact on pt. lives. Inadequate treatment perpetuates the symtpoms of biplar disorder with negative consequences for he course and outome of the illness and pt. quality of life.The symptoms of bipolar disorder may worsen overtime in the absent of proper treatment. Are at more risk for suicideOrganic chagnes to the brain with repeated manic episodes.48Detecting Bipolar D.O. - DIGFASTD = DISTRACTIBILITYI = INDISCRETION OR DISINHIBITIONG = GRANDIOSITYF = FLIGHT OF IDEASA = ACTIVITY INCREASES = SLEEP DEFICIT OR DECREASED NEED FOR SLEEPT = TALKATIVENESS49MOOD DIORDER QUESTIONAIRE (MDQ)Brief patient self report covering 13 different manic symptoms which patients record as yes or no.Seven or more positive responses on the MDQ indicate the presence of concurrent manic symptoms and a moderate level of impairment.

51Key Factors in Diagnosis BDOAge of onsetFamily historyPresence of mania or hypomaniaCycling of moodResponse to treatment antidepressants 52Treatment-MOOD STABILIZERSLithium (LiCO3) A Salt. Mechanism of action not well understood. Effects intracellular CA, also interacts with DA, NE and 5-HT. Has Narrow Therapeutic Window Level generally .5-1.5mEq/L (At 1.5 mEq/L is approaching toxic) Has proven efficacy in Mania. Not effective rapid cycling.Depakote (valproate )- May act by decreasing excessive neuron transmission and decrease of ions through voltage sensitive sodium channels and decrease excitatory nerotransmissions. HEPATOTOXICITY
Lithium may effect second messenger enzymes and modulation of g proteins. Effecting downstream signal transductionNonsedating and nonaddictiveEarly side effects disappear after 4 weeks.
Both require blood draws to manage53Lamictal (Lamotrigine) Prevention of recurrence of both mania and depression.Not approved for treatment of bipolar mania. May act by reducing release of excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. STEVEN JOHSON SYNDROME

If bipolar need decision to use atypical antipsychotic or lamictal and avoid antidepressants.If presenting with mild mania consider valproate, lithium, or atypical antipsychotic or combination. For antidepressant induced mania stop the antidepressant.Must consider what presenting problem is and decide whether to treat from top down (antimania) or bottom up (mood stabilizer.)Generally monotherapy is not possible to manage bipolar disorder.Important to know if depressive symptoms depression or bipolar.If presenting with mild mania consider valporoate, lithium, or atypical antipsycotic or combintaiton. In primary care may decide to start with atypical antipsychotic and still avoid antidepressants with referral to a speciaist if this treatment isnt satisfactoy.
57Closing ThoughtsMajor depressive disorder tends to be a recurrent condition (50-80%) warranting long-term use of antidepressants as a preventative therapy.Avoid abrupt discontinuation of medication, taper medication instead.Psychotherapy is an invaluable treatment modality in management of depression.Good follow-up is essential.
