3 1. Explain the link between depression and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes 2. Recognize signs and symptoms of depression 3. Discuss treatment options for depression in context of comorbid cardiovascular disease and/or diabetes

4 Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide reported by the World Health Organization 1 Lifetime prevalence rate in the US is 16% 2 Suicide is among the top 10 leading causes of all deaths in the US 3 1. World Health Organization, Fact Sheet, JAMA. 2003; 289 (23): National Vital Statistics Reports, Vol.65, No. 2, Feb 16, 2016, CDC

5 In cardiac patients, MDD prevalence estimated to be as high as 40% 1 Depression is an independent risk factor of CVD 2 Depression doubles the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) 3 1.

6 Meta analysis of 11 studies found relative risk of developing ischemic heart disease of 1.64 in those with MDD vs healthy controls 1 American Heart Association study found screening positive for depression was associated with a 55% greater risk of cardiac events 2 1.

7 Depression developed after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is associated with worse cardiac outcomes 1 MDD after an episode of unstable angina increases the risk of cardiac events during the following year with a 4-fold increase of cardiac death 2 Patients with MDD are at increased risk of cardiac death, particularly within the first 6 months 3 1.

10 Depression is link to prognostic variables including micro and macrovascular complications 1 Even in the context of good glucose control, depression is found to increase all cause mortality 2 1. De Groot M et al. Psychosomatic Medicine 2001;63(4): Sullivan MD et al. Diabetes Care. 2012;35(8):

11 Recommendations for Screening, Referral, and Treatment Conclusions: The opportunity to screen and treat depression in cardiac patients should not be missed, as effective depression treatment may improve health outcomes Patients with positive screening results should be evaluated by a professional qualified in the diagnosis and management of depression Patients with cardiac disease under treatment for depression should be carefully monitored Coordination of care between healthcare providers is essential Lichtman, JH. Circulation 2008;118:

13 Depressed Mood Loss of interest or pleasure Diminished ability to think/concentrate or indecisiveness Significant change in weight or appetite Insomnia or hypersomnia Psychomotor agitation or retardation Fatigue or loss of energy Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt Suicidal ideation Cognitive Emotional Physical

14 Screening for depression in patients with coronary heart disease. *Meets diagnostic criteria for major depression, has a PHQ-9 score of 10 19, has had no more than 1 or 2 prior episodes of depression, and screens negative for bipolar disorder, suicidality, significant substance abuse, or other major psychiatric problems. Meets the diagnostic criteria for major depression and 1) has a PHQ-9 score 20; or 2) has had 3 or more prior depressive episodes; or 3) screens positive for bipolar disorder, suicidality, significant substance abuse, or other major psychiatric problem. If Yes to Q.9 suicidal, immediately evaluate for acute suicidality. Judith H. Lichtman et al. Circulation. 2008;118: Copyright American Heart Association, Inc. All rights reserved.

17 Moderate depression and above may need robust antidepressant treatment. Mild depression and below may only require counseling, relaxation and exercise.

18 *Bipolar Disorder Hirschfeld et al found 21% of those taking antidepressants in a primary care clinic screened positive for bipolar disorder Past history of mania Family history of bipolar disorder Past response to antidepressants Age of onset Quality of Depression *Substance Abuse *Assess for suicide risk Hirschfeld et al.

21 Response: defined in clinical trials as a 50% decrease from a baseline score on depression scales (e.g. PHQ-9 if baseline score 18 9) Remission: criteria for depression no longer met

22 In community practice, response to PHQ- 9 is a strong predictor of suicide attempt and suicide death over the following 2 years 1 Anxiety as an acute risk factors 2 Protective factors 1. Simon GE et al. J of Clin Psychiatry 2016;77(2): Busch k et al. Psychiatric Annals 2004;34(5):357

23 Acute Phase (6-12 weeks) Achieve Remission Choose initial treatment aimed at inducing major depressive episode remission Assess response and side effects About 4-8 weeks are needed before concluding partial or no response to intervention Continuation Phase (4-9 months) Preserve Remission Continue treatment, monitor for signs of relapse Assess side effects, adherence, and functional status Maintenance Phase Minimize Recurrence Continue for patients at risk (eg. >3 prior MDEs, presence of residual symptoms) Monitor at regular intervals

44 Depression is a common comorbidity with cardiac disease and diabetes, resulting in worst clinical outcomes Cardiac and diabetic patients should be routinely screened for depression and suicidaility The PHQ-2 and PHQ-9 are established screening tools in the primary care setting Treatment should be monitored with remission as the goal Collaborative treatment is most effective with coordination of care between healthcare providers

45 Screening for depression in patients with coronary heart disease. *Meets diagnostic criteria for major depression, has a PHQ-9 score of 10 19, has had no more than 1 or 2 prior episodes of depression, and screens negative for bipolar disorder, suicidality, significant substance abuse, or other major psychiatric problems. Meets the diagnostic criteria for major depression and 1) has a PHQ-9 score 20; or 2) has had 3 or more prior depressive episodes; or 3) screens positive for bipolar disorder, suicidality, significant substance abuse, or other major psychiatric problem. If Yes to Q.9 suicidal, immediately evaluate for acute suicidality. Judith H. Lichtman et al. Circulation. 2008;118: Copyright American Heart Association, Inc. All rights reserved.
