AB Depression  is  common,  disabling,  and  often  unrecognized  in  general  medical  practice.  Even  when  recognized,  physicians  frequently  do  not  provide  systematic,  longitudinal  evidence-based  management.  And  from  the  perspective  of  the  patient,  stigma  and  other  psychosocial  barriers  such  as  negative  expectations  often  diminish  adherence  to  treatment  recommendations.  Despite  robust  documentation  that  depression  is  quite  treatable  and  the  widespread  availability  of  evidence-based  guidelines,  overall  outcomes  remain  poor.
