We used these screens. If depression is moderate to severe, the med is changed.

Happy New Year Everyone!
The question for today is since cycloserine seems to be the drug of the month I was wondering how mental health assessments are being done?
I know the COE’s have products out there to assist with mental health screening but I was wondering if anyone uses a different approach.
Next question. What have you done with a patient that is showing true signs of depression wither on cycloserine of not?
Thanks,
Patty
