La depresión es altamente prevalente, genera una elevada discapacidad y altos costes económicos y sociales. Sin embargo, es destacable que el conocimiento existente sobre la presencia de sintomatología depresiva o depresión leve-moderada sea escasa a pesar de que la evidencia indique que genera un alto impacto en la salud y calidad de vida de las personas, además de ser un factor de riesgo para desarrollar una depresión más grave en el futuro. Asimismo, investigaciones previas indican que curso de la sintomatología depresiva es altamente heterogénea entre los pacientes, pero la laguna de conocimiento existente sobre las trayectorias de la depresión es notoria, especialmente en los servicios de Atención Primaria, a pesar de ser el contexto más común de tratamiento de los pacientes con depresión leve-moderada. Además, la investigación en el trazado de las trayectorias permite conocer la asociación de las mismas con diferentes características pretratamiento, lo cual puede resultar de gran utilidad para predecir la posible trayectoria que los pacientes pueden seguir a lo largo del tiempo...

In addition, research on the identification of the trajectories can be used to investigate the association of trajectories with a variety of pre-treatment characteristics, which can be particularly useful to predict the likely trajectory that patients may develop over time...
