Detection and Treatment of Depression: The Nursing Perspective. Indianapolis, IN: Eli Lilly & Co.; 1995 [Slide Kit].

Detection and Treatment of Depression: The Nursing Perspective. Indianapolis, IN: Eli Lilly & Co.; 1995 [Slide Kit]. This slide kit has been developed to assist nurses in the detection and treatment of depression, one of the most common psychiatric illnesses.

In addition, the cost of the illness in terms of pain, suffering, disability, and debt is also high. Yet, there is strong evidence that with effective treatment, nearly all people with depression can be helped. It is hoped that nurse clinicians and nurse educators will use this slide kit to gain greater understanding of this illness, and thereby have a significant impact on the early diagnosis and effective treatment of depression.
