Quality standard
This quality standard covers the clinical assessment and management of depression in adults (aged 18 and over). It includes adults with persistent subthreshold depressive symptoms or mild, moderate or severe depression, including those who also have a chronic physical health problem. It describes high-quality care in priority areas for improvement.
Keeping quality standards up to date
We checked this quality standard in 2016 and we are updating it. See the development page for progress on the update.
