Well Aware for Depression

Outsmart Your Depression

Understanding depression — and how it affects your overall health and sense of well-being is vital to managing your condition. The CIGNA Well Aware for Better Health^® program for depression is specifically designed to provide support to individuals with depression who are not getting good results with their current treatment plan and/or medication. Working with your doctor, the program helps you:

• Understand the physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms of depression
• Talk with your doctor about treatment and medication options
• Anticipate the effects of medication
• Understand the importance of healthy routines and the role they can play in overcoming depression
• Know when to call your doctor

The personalized support you deserve. The Well Aware program for depression was developed using nationally recognized resources, like the American Psychiatric Association, the MacArthur Initiative on Depression, and the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research. It is updated frequently to reflect the most current research and practices

This strong foundation allows us to work with you and your doctor to provide you with personalized support, including:

• A personal, experienced behavioral care professional you can call for guidance and support
• Educational materials
• Reminders for medications and appointments
