Depression

Depression

Although depression is a treatable illness, education on screening, the prominence and importance of physical symptoms in the presentation of depression, and knowledge about the available treatment modalities for this disorder will help to improve its detection and treatment in the primary care setting. The challenge is to learn to recognize it, reduce barriers to treatment, and to strive for full remission as the goal.
