title: Anxiety and depression in the medical setting: an overview.
abstract: Many physicians fail to correctly diagnose, treat, or refer their patients with anxiety and depression. These are common and costly disorders, but many barriers often prevent effective care for them in medical settings. Greater knowledge about these disorders and closer working relationships with mental health specialists should lead to decreased morbidity and mortality.
