Although depression is one of the major diseases arranged no galas or lavish advertising campaigns and it sold no pastel ribbons. - It would be good to have more awareness for the disease to show that there is help available. In several parts of the country is trying in various ways to improve care, including by increasing sales even psychological treatment, but it is still missing resources, says Ms Nyren, project manager at the National Board. Foreign primary free digital stamps care studies have shown encouraging results when you could offer depressed patient education, telephone support, electronic reminders and good access to psychiatrists and psychologists trained in short-term psychotherapy. Gunilla Nyren leads Welfare group to recommend treatment in mild, moderate and serious depression and anxiety. That work will be completed in early 2009. Team shall review existing research and identify the most efficient and cost effective methods. - Depressed people have in their sick period often impaired independence and energy. The care should pay particular attention to this, for example in how to submit information free digital stamps and how to give the patient and family the opportunity to be involved. We will also discuss the report, says Ms Nyren. Depression involves great suffering to many people and one billion cost to society. Next week, the National Board present guidelines for how long patients with depression should be on sick leave. The recommendations should be support for physicians and social insurance officers. - Dissemination of how long people with depression are sick is huge, from a few weeks to several years. Psychiatric disorders exhibit usually much greater individual variation than physical. This means that work on guidelines becomes more delicate, says Jan Larsson, free digital stamps deputy director at the unit of national guidelines at the National Board. In recent years, the number of sick leave decreased overall, but the proportion who are on sick leave for mood disorders, social insurance umbrella term for various depressive disorders, has increased from 12.3 percent in June 2005 was 13.6 percent in June 2007. - Depression is extra specify location to study because it is one of the largest ohälsoorsakerna we have in our country, says Jan Larsson. One of the reasons that self-reported mental free digital stamps illness is increasing, says Jan Larsson, is that it is no longer as taboo to tell me that you feel physically ill. Between free digital stamps 1997 and 2005, doubled free digital stamps the cost to society of depressive disorders, 16-33 billion per year, according to a study at the Karolinska Institute. The calculations include the costs of healthcare, pharmaceutical and indirect costs of lost productivity due to sick leave and early retirement. - It's sick that has led to the increased costs. Many more are on sick leave due to being diagnosed with depression, says Patrik Sobocki, health free digital stamps economist and researcher at the Karolinska Institute. But Patrik Sobocki out that even though costs have increased so much is no reason to believe that the prevalence of depression has increased. - It could certainly be that you pay attention to the disease more and perhaps that people are more likely to seek care. Depression is an illness with much stigma. When the Danish National Board of Health, the equivalent of the Swedish National Board of Health produced guidelines for treating depression in adults became headlines free digital stamps in Danish newspapers: "A million Danes should be screened for depression." Depression is commonly associated with a range of illnesses, including heart disease, stroke, chronic pain, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cancer, dementia and epilepsy. The proposal would Danish general practitioners through a series of oral questions or questionnaires systematically check patients in these risk groups. The purpose of the proposal was that the earliest possible detection of patients with depression. - We hope more people will get treatment with psychotherapy or medication because we know that a large proportion of those who suffer from depression do not receive treatment, says Poul Vide Bech at the Center for Psychiatric Research at Aarhus University Hospital and chairman of the Health Board's working group. But for it to be meaningful free digital stamps to make such extensive screening also requires that there is treatment to give, for example, that those in need can receive treatment from a psychologist paid for by public funds and it is not today in Denmark. - These are recommendations free digital stamps and require great expense to implement it.
