Abstract
Depression treatment strategies are within the scope of pediatric practice and among the competencies recommended by the Academy of Pediatrics and The American Board of Pediatrics. Treatments that may be provided through collaborative care include nonpharmacologic therapies such as psychosocial treatments and evidence-based psychotherapies, and pharmacotherapy and monitoring processes for depression. Abundant support and guidance are available to pediatricians in depression care, including mental health consultation and online materials.
