Approach Considerations
Current evidence-supported interventions include cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, or a combination of both should be offered as treatment for children and adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD). Safety is always the first concern in the evaluation of MDD in children and adolescents. Risk assessment of patients who are depressed should be ongoing. Documentation should support clinical decision-making.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy has been shown in multiple randomized, clinical trials to be effective in the treatment of mild to moderate MDDs in children and adolescents. Evidence from randomized, clinical trials suggests efficacy in the treatment of moderate to severe MDD using 3 selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): fluoxetine,[38] sertraline,[39, 40] and citalopram.
Overall, the choice of the initial acute therapy depends on the following factors:
Severity
Number of prior episodes
Chronicity
Subtype
Age of the patient
Contextual issues - Eg, family conflict, academic problems, exposure to negative life events
Adherence to treatment
Previous response to treatment
Motivation of the patient and family for treatment
In mild cases, psychosocial interventions are often recommended as first-line treatments, whereas, in the more severe cases, medication in addition to psychotherapeutic intervention is often recommended.
Treatment of a child or adolescent who is depressed should occur within a biopsychosocial context. Such an approach includes the psychotherapies (eg, individual, family, group), medication management, social skills training, and educational assessment and planning. The clinician should choose a treatment setting prior to initiation of a treatment plan.
The clinician must carefully assess the risk for suicide in any child who is depressed. If a child is preoccupied with thoughts of suicide or has definite plans, or has other significant risk factors for suicide, the patient must be hospitalized. The clinician should weigh factors such as the child’s ability to function and the stability of the family, plus any history of previous suicide attempts, when determining whether or not a child or adolescent should be hospitalized.

認知行為療法已被證明在多個隨機臨床試驗,可有效地治療輕度至中度的兒童和青少年MDDS。從隨機的臨床試驗證據表明療效中度使用3選擇性五羥色胺再攝取抑製劑(SSRIs)治療重度抑鬱症:氟西汀,[38]舍曲林,[39,40]和西酞普蘭。
總體而言,在初始急性治療的選擇取決於以下因素:
嚴重性
發作前的數
慢性
亞型
患者的年齡
背景問題 - 例如,家庭衝突,學術問題,暴露在負性生活事件
堅持治療
以前的治療反應
患者及家屬對治療的動機
在溫和的情況下,心理幹預通常推薦為一線治療藥物,而在更嚴重的情況下,藥物治療,除了心理治療幹預,經常被推薦。
