Depression: underdiagnosed, undertreated, underappreciated.
Major depressive disorder is significantly underdiagnosed and undertreated, particularly in the primary care environment. Although more patients are seeking help for depression and the utilization of antidepressants is on the rise, the level of treatment is inadequate. Rectifying this will involve patients, providers, payers, employers, accrediting agencies, and even governmental entities.
