More than 14% of the population has a mood disorder, and more than 50% do not receive treatment. Information and communication technology (ICT) could improve health care. A systematic review was considered in order to know the programs that apply ICT in the management of depression and to assess their effectiveness.
There is insufficient scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of ICT use in the management of depression. However, there is a well-founded hypothesis that videoconference produces the same results as face-to-face treatment and that self-help Internet programs could improve symptoms.
More research is needed; nevertheless, when traditional care is not possible, telemedicine could be used.

关于 ICT 在抑郁症管理中的使用效果，科学证据不足。然而，有一个合理的假设，即视频会议产生的结果与面对面治疗相同，并且自助式互联网方案可以改善症状。
需要进一步研究；然而，当传统护理不可行时，可以使用远程医疗。
