More than 300 million people are affected by depression worldwide. Stigma of mental illness and other psychosocial barriers such as negative expectations often diminish the motivation of individuals with depression to seek care. Even when recognized, depression is often inadequately addressed by practitioners who lack either the time or training to provide timely, effective, evidence-based treatment. Despite evidence that depression is quite treatable, and the widespread availability of evidence-based assessment and treatment guidelines, overall outcomes remain poor.
