Abstract
Common mood disorders that are seen in women in primary care are major depression, dysthymic disorder, adjustment reaction with depressed mo od, and premenstrual syndrome. This article reviews the diagnosis and treatment of major depression, which also are applicable in many ways to other mood disorders. Specifics about other mood disorders that are encountered frequently in women are discussed subsequently.
