Latino patients require special considerations due to cultural beliefs, inadequate antidepressant response, increased placebo response, and adherence problems. Current evidence-based guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of depression are generally applicable to a Hispanic population, but no separate recommendations for the treatment of major depressive disorder in Hispanic veterans or their families exist. More research is needed on depression in Hispanic patients in order to establish treatment guidelines specific to this population.
拉丁裔患者由于文化信仰、抗抑郁药反应不足、安慰剂反应增加和依从性问题需要特别考虑。目前针对抑郁症的诊断和治疗的循证指南通常适用于西班牙裔人群，但针对西班牙裔退伍军人或其家属的重度抑郁症治疗尚无单独的建议。需要对西班牙裔患者的抑郁症进行更多研究，以便为该人群制定具体的治疗指南。
