Antidepressants are medications used to treat depression and anxiety. They work by changing levels of certain chemicals in the brain to help lift a person's mood. Guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) suggest if people start taking antidepressants they should see a health professional again within 2 weeks to check if the medication is working and if there are any side effects. If they continue to take the medication they should be seen at least once a year to again check if there are any side effects.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) are commissioned by NHS England to develop indicators which are suitable for inclusion in the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) subject to negotiation between NHS England and the British Medical Association’s General Practitioners Committee (GPC).
