Abstract
Patients in the earlier stages of CKD have higher rates of psychological challenges and psychiatric illness than the general population. These challenges may contribute to lower perceived quality of life and progressive kidney disease in such patients. This chapter reviews the mental health literature regarding nondialysis dependent CKD patients. Screening, diagnosis and treatment strategies are discussed for major depression, bipolar depression, anxiety, alcohol use disorder and opioid use disorder. Much of the treatment guidelines are extrapolated from general medical populations. Therefore studies uniquely addressing patients with earlier stages of CKD are needed.
