    AbstractIncreasing numbers of patients are using complementary medicine for the treatment of depression, which complicates management. What is the evidence in support of one medication over another? What medications are safe to use in children and pregnant women? Is there any evidence supporting over-the-counter supplements? These are just a few of the questions that primary care physicians face on a daily basis. This article attempts to answer these questions and many others in an evidence-based approach to the management of depression, which focuses on diagnosis, medical management, and complementary treatments.
