Abstract:
Clinical practice guidelines for primary care providers that address the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of depression may have an impact on psychiatric practice as well as on general medical education and the research agenda. This commentary highlights the conceptual and scientific issues that surrounded the development of these guidelines and speculates on their potential practical impact, particularly on psychiatry.
