The Ministry of Health Clinical Practice Guidelines for Depression were prepared and distributed to all doctors in Singapore in early 2004. This article highlights salient points and discusses pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy and psychoeducation in managing cases of depression. Assessment of suicide risk is elaborated upon, although this was not discussed in the guidelines. The learning points will be enhanced if this article is reviewed together with the Ministry of Health Clinical Practice Guidelines.
新加坡卫生部于2004年初制定并向该国所有医生分发了《抑郁症临床实践指南》。本文突出了要点，并探讨了抑郁症病例管理中的药物治疗、心理治疗和心理教育。尽管指南中未对此进行讨论，但本文对自杀风险评估进行了详细阐述。如果将本文与卫生部的《临床实践指南》一起研读，学习要点将得到强化。
