Further policy changes are needed to improve depression care
Depression is a highly prevalent disorder among primary care (PC) patients, particularly those with chronic medical disorders. Patients with depression use more medical care and have two-fold higher medical costs than patients without depression.

Depression is a risk factor for functional decline in aging populations, dementia, and mortality. (Source: General Hospital Psychiatry)
