AB Once  a  patient  with  potential  depression  is  identified,  comprehensively  assessed,  and  the  subtype  of  his/her  depression  defined  (Chapter  3),  the  next  task  is  to  engage  the  patient  in  developing  a  treatment  plan  composed  of  evidence-based  interventions  to  be  implemented  at  the  appropriate  stage  of  their  depression.  Providing  a  choice  of  interventions  and  their  respective  benefits  versus  side  effects  is  one  way  to  engage  the  patient  in  planning  treatment  and  improves  adherence  and  outcomes.1  The  timing  of  the  intervention  is  also  important;  for  example,  patients  with  severe  depression  are  often  unable  to  fully  engage  in  cognitive  behavioral  therapy  (CBT)  and  profit  more  from  CBT  if  it  is  introduced  during  milder  stages  of  illness  or  once  recovery  has  begun.
