Depression is often misdiagnosed in the
offices of primary care physicians.
The Injustice of Depression Misdiagnosis
proposes two simple screening questions
that can accurately diagnose depression
within one minute. These screening
questions were also recommended by
the U.S. Preventive Health Services
Task Force. Properly diagnosed,
depression can be treated and
lives saved. The cause and appropriate
treatment of depression are also
discussed. If you would like to contact the author
