Abstract
Shared decision making (SDM) has been touted as both an ethical obligation and a means to improve the quality of health care.1,2 In contrast with a paternalistic style, SDM is a collaborative effort between physician and patient, who share information, preferences, and concerns as they negotiate a course of action.3 Shared decision making may be particularly relevant to the care of patients with depression, for which a variety of treatment options are available. Greater patient participation in decision making regarding care for depression may lead to better adherence and patient satisfaction.4,5Keywords
