A nurse plans to address the increasing prevalence of depression in the community. Which of the following would be the best strategy to implement?
a. Educate the community about how de-pression affects men
b. Recognize available community resources
c. Advocate for health policy changes
d. Understand how free clinics are able to provide mental health services to those without health insurance
ANS: A
Depression between men and women is recognized differently in the community. More women than men are classified as having depression. Men with depression often go unrecognized and underreported. Men tend to be stoic and do not verbalize how they feel, are reluctant to talk about health issues, and often do not have positive relationship with their health care provider. Recognition is key in order to get those with depression the necessary services that they need. Once depression has been detected, these individuals can be referred to the appropriate re-sources. Health policy changes and the understanding of free clinics would not provide the most immediate solution to the community.
