AB One  in  five  patients  with  chronic  kidney  disease  (CKD)  will  experience  at  least  one  major  depressive  episode,  which  is  likely  to  be  detrimental  to  the  course  of  their  kidney  disease  and  significantly  limit  their  quality  of  life.  Most  patients  with  major  depressive  disorder  (MDD)  in  the  setting  of  CKD  are  undiagnosed  and  untreated,  which  suggests  a  significant  opportunity  for  psychiatrists  to  work  collaboratively  to  optimize  the  treatment  of  depression  in  this  high-risk  population  and  provide  guidance  for  both  patients  and  their  families  around  complex  issues  like  dialysis  withdrawal.
