Authors' objectives:
Depression and bipolar disorder are common mental disorders. The prognosis for patients with affective disorder is poorer than previously believed. The course of the disorders can be influenced by concrete prophylactic measures.
The present HTA reviews the course of both depressive disorder and bipolar affective disorder.
The technology section discusses the treatment in the form of prophylactic pharmacotherapy, prophylactic combination therapy involving pharmacotherapy and psychological treatment, and doctor-patient cooperation (adherence).
