Depression is one of the most common psychiatric symptoms seen in HD with a significant negative impact on quality of life.

An antidepressant may be suggested if depression occurs in HD (Grade B).

It is recommended to use a selective SSRI or a serotonin noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), or alternatively Mianserin or Mirtazapine, in case of sleep disruption.

In case of recurrent depression, long-term mood-stabilizer treatment may be introduced in complement to the treatment of the current episode to prevent relapses.
