Abstract(s)
A depressão é uma doença cada vez mais prevalente em Portugal e no mundo. É uma condição
médica séria, fonte de grandes gastos na sáude, causa de grande morbilidade e de grande
sofrimento para os doentes e familiares, provocando significativa perda de qualidade de vida.
Existem diversos tratamentos para este transtorno, desde psicoterapia, psicofármacos,
técnicas de relaxamento, exercício físico e terapia electroconvulsiva. Nesta revisão interessa
avaliar a psicoterapia, mais particularmente a terapia cognitivo-comportamental (TCC), quer
como terapia de 1ª linha quer como coadjuvante a fármacos, sobretudo no tratamento da
depressão leve a moderada, que poderá ser diagnosticada e tratada por clínicos gerais e não
necessariamente por especialistas.
Objetivos: Esta monografia tem como objetivo rever literatura existente sobre técnicas de
TCC utilizadas no tratamento da depressão. Estas técnicas atentam num modelo
cognitivo/comportamental para perceber a origem e elaborar tratamentos para os diversos
transtornos mentais. Nesta monografia, a depressão, que é vista como as dificuldades em
regular emoções negativas e/ou incapacidade de gerir medos e problemas que são inerentes à
própria vida, será o transtorno abordado.
Métodos: Análise de artigos publicados na base de dados PubMed. Recurso a livros e manuais
sobre Depressão e TCC’s.
Conclusão: É possível identificar melhoria sintomática com o uso de TCC quer como 1ª linha,
quer como coadjuvante, sendo que as melhorias se apresentam como duradouras em followups
até um ano, como é evidenciado em diversos estudos. Contudo, existem ainda muitas
limitações nestes estudos, quer por reduzido número de estudos relevantes, quer por falta de
adesão terapêutica. Estas limitações são extensíveis, em certa medida, aos outros
tratamentos.
Depression in Portugal and the rest of the world is becoming a disease more and more prominent. It’s a serious medical condition, source of great health costs, cause of great morbidity and of a great deal of suffering for patients and relatives, resulting in a great decrease on the quality of life. There are several options of treatment for this torment: from physiotherapy, psychotropic, relaxing techniques, to physical exercising and electroconvulsive therapy. In this revision, what’s more relevant is to evaluate psychotherapy, more particularly cognitive – behavioral (TCC), as much as a first-line therapy as a supporter of pharmaceuticals, especially regarding light and moderated cases of depression, that can be diagnosed and treated by general clinical personnel and not necessarily specialists. Objectives: This monograph has as objective to review existent literature on TCC techniques used in depression treatment. These techniques use has a base a cognitive/behavioral model in order to understand the origin and elaborate treatments for the several mental afflictions. On this monograph, depression, which is seen as a difficulty in regulating negative emotions and/or incapacity of managing fears and problems related to life itself, will be the affliction addressed. Methods: Review of published articles on PubMed’s database. Resourcing to books and manuals on Depression and TCC’s. Conclusion: It’s possible to identify a symptomatic improvement by using TCC as a 1 liner and as a supporter, the case being that the improvements are presented as lasting in follow-ups to a year, as shown in several studies. However, these studies have yet many limitations: from a reduced number of relevant studies, to a lack of therapy accession. These limitations are extensive, in a certain way, to the other treatments.
