Abstract/Notes

Excerpt: Depression can afflict anyone, regardless of age, race, or sex. In the United States, about 17 million Americans are estimated to develop depression each year. Major risk factors are female sex (at least twice as often as men), age, family history, bereavement, and brain injury. In addition, depression claims consistently rank among the top 10 reasons for medical and disability leaves that many times lead to an independent medical examination (IME) request.

Depression screening needs to be a consideration in the IME process when determining current clinical status and return to work inquiries. Biopsychosocial issues present unique challenges to the chiropractic forensic examiner/professional. The examiner must rely on diagnostic criteria and clinical experience to establish this diagnosis.
