    Abstract

    Treatment of patients with mood disorder can be one of the most rewarding experiences in medicine. Optimal treatment is contingent on accurate diagnosis according to current criteria and terminology. Major depression needs further categorization in reference to atypical or psychotic features, seasonal aspects, melancholia, mania, or dysthymia. Most patients with major depression need pharmacotherapy, often in combination with psychotherapy. A number of therapeutic regimens using various antidepressant agents are available.
