The astute family physician recognizes that such complaints as fatigue, pain, weight change and insomnia may be manifestations of depression rather than of physical illness. This diagnostic challenge is simplified by a working knowledge of the criteria for depression and mania. In addition to diagnosing depression, family physicians can successfully treat this condition with antidepressant medications.
