Depressive disorders have a high global prevalence, with 300 million people affected by this pathology in the world, and in Brazil, there are about 11.5 million people. These disorders directly and significantly affect the quality of life of affected patients. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the literature through an integrative review, aiming to highlight the importance of the actions of PHC and its team, developed in the face of depressive disorders. It was found that the main care strategies for individuals diagnosed with depression, used in the UBS, described in the literature were: Reception; Individual consultations; Referral to the specialist; Support groups and Pharmacological treatment. However, PHC contributes to the promotion of strategies to build an effective network of care, care and monitoring articulated with other sectors of the health network, for depressive patients.
