Leitlinien zur Diagnostik und Psychotherapie von depressiven Störungen im Kindes- und Jugendalter: Ein evidenzbasierter Diskussionsvorschlag

Published Online:September 01, 2006https://doi.org/10.1026/0942-5403.13.2.64

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Ein Entwurf evidenzbasierter Leitlinien zur Diagnostik und Psychotherapie von depressiven Störungen im Kindes- und Jugendalter wird vorgestellt. Für die Diagnosestellung depressiver Störungen im Kindes- und Jugendalter müssen die gleichen diagnostischen Kriterien nach ICD-10 erfüllt sein wie für Erwachsene. Allerdings kann das klinische Bild einer Depression in verschiedenen Altersgruppen deutlich variieren. Depressive Störungen sind vor allem im Jugendalter häufig, chronische Verläufe und Rückfälle treten auf und sie gehen oft mit komorbiden Störungen wie Angststörungen, Störungen des Sozialverhaltens und Störungen durch Substanzgebrauch einher. Wirksame Interventionsansätze zur Prävention depressiver Störungen und zur Akutbehandlung bei leichten und mittelschweren depressiven Störungen stehen zur Verfügung. Die psychotherapeutischen Interventionen der Wahl stellen derzeit kognitiv-verhaltenstherapeutische Ansätze (KVT) und die interpersonale Therapie (IPT) dar. Die Antidepressiva der Wahl sind derzeit selektive Serotoninwiederaufnahmehemmer (SSRI). Weitere Studien, vor allem hinsichtlich Rückfallprophylaxe und der Evaluation der Wirksamkeit einer Kombinationsbehandlung von Psychotherapie mit antidepressiver Medikation stehen noch aus.


Guidelines for the assessment and psychotherapy of depressive disorders in childhood and adolescence: An evidence-based discussion paper

Abstract. An outline of evidence-based guidelines for the assessment and treatment of depressive disorders in childhood and adolescence is presented. Depressive disorders in children and adolescents are marked by core symptoms similar to those seen in adults, although symptom expression varies greatly with developmental stage. These disorders are common, especially in adolescence, chronic, and recurrent, and are associated with comorbid conditions such as anxiety disorders, conduct disorders, and substance use disorders. Effective treatment approaches for the prevention of depressive disorders and the acute treatment of mild and moderate depressive disorders are available. The psychotherapeutic interventions of choice are currently cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT). The antidepressants of choice are currently selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI). Especially on relapse prevention and the evaluation of the combination of psychotherapy with antidepressant medication further studies are necessary.
