Synopsis of publication:

This series of publications have been developed by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). The clinical practice guidelines and modified versions for consumers, general practitioners and mental health professionals have all been developed by an NHMRC working party with representatives from general practice, adolescent health, psychiatry, psychology, the consumer movement and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

This series is concerned with the identification and management of depression in young people. This is an increasing problem in the Australia community and presentation of depression in young people can be complex. It may not be recognised by parents, medical practitioners, teachers, welfare workers or others and, when it is recognised, the approaches to management vary considerably.
