Abstract:
As reported by the World Health Organization, depression is a disorder that can be reliably diagnosed and treated in primary care, with preferred treatment consisting of basic psychosocial support combined with antidepressant medication or psychotherapy, such as cognitive behaviour therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy or problem solving treatment. The European project MasterMind, started in March 2014 and, with 36 months duration, is an observational study aiming to implement collaborative care services and cCBT treatment in order to improve the care of people suffering from depression. The services will be tested in 15 European regions, for a total target of over 5280 patients and 141 professionals involved.
