TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Unmet needs in treatment of depression: Comorbid anxiety and management JO - Klinik psikofarmakoloji bülteni A1 - Dilbaz, N. A1 - Darçin, A.E. A1 - Çavuş, S.Y. SP - S10 EP - S19 VL - 21 IS - Suppl 1 N2 - Depressive disorders are among the most common psychiatric disorders currently affecting individuals. Yet, available data indicate that fewer than one third of adults with depression obtain appropriate professional treatment. Depression and anxiety disorders frequently co-occur. This type of co-morbidity is associated with higher severity, suicidality, chronicity and treatment resistance. However, available treatment guidelines mainly focus on treatment for singular disorders. The current paper describes diagnostic and treatment issues relevant for adequately addressing patients with depression and an anxiety disorder, using information from both guidelines and a search of recent literature.
