title: Neurosis or psychosis?
abstract: The management of patients who attend the surgery requesting psychotropic medication is complicated by the inadequate classification of neuroses and the difficulty in distinguishing between neurotic and psychotic depression. Moreover, patients have lives to lead and know that there is treatment available as they have often been given tablets before.
