Treatment strategy

The treatment of depressive episodes should achieve three goals: 1. Improve the clinical cure rate and minimize the disability and suicide rates. The key is to completely eliminate clinical symptoms; 2. Improve the quality of life and restore social functions; 3. Prevent relapse.
