Paramedical Tele-education on Moderate Depressive Episodes

"The tele-education program consists of 5 sessions and is designed to adapt to changes in depressive symptoms over time. Each session will last an average of 60 minutes. They will be scheduled every week for 5 weeks.~The first session is devoted to educational diagnosis, with identification of the patient's needs and any barriers to treatment.~The second session will focus on personalised hygienic and dietary measures. A third session will focus on identifying the symptoms of depression, with a particular focus on suicidal ideation and the causes of depression. The role of family and friends will also be discussed.~A fourth session will be devoted to providing clear information on antidepressants, with particular attention to the duration of treatment.~The aim of the final session is to identify what has been learned and to clarify any questions before drawing up a joint summary of the work done, which will be sent to the patient's GP with his or her consent."
