| A Word from
the President In
the recent volume of the World Journal of Biological
Psychiatry you will find the WFSBP Guidelines
for Biological Treatment of Unipolar Depressive
Disorders in Primary Care. The presented Treatment
Guidelines are an updated version, but especially
designed for colleagues working in primary care.
This is of great importance, as the majority of
patients with depression tend to seek the help
of a general practitioner and are only occasionally
seen by specialists. With this comprehensive manual
which includes numerous recommendations the WFSBP
aims to provide up-to-date treatment options and
thus to further improve treatment for patients
world-wide and to spread knowledge also in countries
with limited continuing education possibilities.
I wish to thank
Michael Bauer, Chairman of the WFSBP Task Force
on Unipolar Depressive Disorders, and the members
of the respective Task Force for their superb
work and ongoing engagement. Further I wish to
thank Hans-Jürgen Möller, chief editor
of the World Journal of Biological Psychiatry,
for his dedication to develop WFSBP Treatment
Guidelines. We hope that we can present you further
WFSBP Treatment Guidelines in the near future.
As with all WFSBP
Treatment Guidelines and Consensus Papers, they
are made available as free download on the official
website www.wfsbp.org.
Sincerely yours,
Siegfried Kasper, MD
WFSBP President
