RESUMEN
El objetivo de la presente revisión es analizar la magnitud y el impacto
social de la depresión, así como explorar modelos que permitan
comprender mejor las estrategias necesarias para su atención.
Los reportes revelan que 9.2% de la población general ha
padecido un episodio de depresión, que una de cada cinco personas
sufrirá uno antes de llegar a los 75 años y que los más jóvenes
presentan tasas mayores.
Tasas más bajas se observan en países de ingreso bajo y medio,
en contraste con países de ingreso alto. Diferencias no relacionadas
con la gravedad o el retraso en el diagnóstico probablemente se
vinculen con diferencias culturales. Las mujeres, las personas sin pareja
y el bajo nivel de educación se asocian con mayor riesgo.
El efecto deletéreo en productividad (media de 27 días perdidos
en el último año) es indiscutible. La asociación con diabetes,
hipertensión y trastornos cardiacos, entre otras, ha sido frecuentemente
investigada. Si bien no es clara la presencia o no de factores de riesgo
comunes y la cadena de causalidad, la combinación de trastornos
físicos y mentales genera más discapacidad.
La depresión ha sido asociada a otras conductas como
adicciones, suicidio y violencia, particularmente en jóvenes.
En cuanto a los efectos en el sistema de salud, diversos estudios
han demostrado que los pacientes con depresión tienen mayores tasas
de utilización y mayores costos asociados, particularmente con ancianos.
Esta sobreutilización está relacionada con la baja proporción de
diagnóstico y tratamiento certero. El 26% de las personas no serán
diagnosticadas y, a pesar de que una elevada proporción de pacientes
contactaron con los servicios de salud, cerca del 30% nunca recibió
ayuda.
Nuevos modelos de atención que incluyan el abatimiento de las
barreras, el entendimiento de los factores socioculturales y la inclusión
del manejo primario de la depresión son urgentes.
