    AbstractDepression is one of the conditions with which the family doctor in particular is likely to be confronted. This illness which owing to the suicide risk is potentially fatal, is still often not recognized and consequently not treated appropriately. In acute and long-term treatment, considerable importance attaches to the prescription of a suitable antidepressant. The latest serotonin- and/or noradrenaline-selective antidepressants have advantages in terms of tolerability. The therapeutic measures with proven efficacy include cognitive-behavioral treatment and interpersonal psychotherapy.
