Update information Update information

JuneJune 2022:2022: This guideline updates and replaces NICE guideline CG90 (published October 2009).

We have reviewed the evidence on access to services, service delivery, treatment of new episodes
of depression, prevention of relapse, further-line treatment, chronic depression, depression with
personality disorder, psychotic depression and patient choice.

Recommendations are marked [2022][2022] if the evidence has been reviewed.

Recommendations that have been deleted, or changed without an evidence review Recommendations that have been deleted, or changed without an evidence review

Some recommendations were deleted from the 2009 guideline. Appendix 1 sets out these
recommendations and includes details of replacement recommendations. If there is no
replacement recommendation, an explanation for the deletion is given.

For recommendations ending [2009, amended 2022] [2009, amended 2022] we have made changes without reviewing the
evidence. The reasons for the changes are given in appendix 2.

For recommendations ending [2009][2009], we have not reviewed the evidence. In some cases, minor
changes have been made – for example, to update links, or bring the language and style up to date –
without changing the intent of the recommendation.
