Abstract

The article discusses the care packages for depression in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It notes that the recognition of this disorder in clinical populations is assisted by the adaption of depression-screening instruments. It points out that evidence-based treatments are effective in depression management. It suggests that these treatments should be delivered by the integration of depression programs and health services.
