Article Abstract

Because this piece does not have an abstract, we have provided for your benefit the first 3 sentences of the full text.

Depression and anxiety disorders are often unrecognized and untreated, despite the development of safer and more tolerable medications. More troubling, even when patients are properly diagnosed, they are frequently undertreated, prescribed doses that are too low or given treatment for too short a duration. Patients may then endure unnecessarily lengthy periods of disability and poor functioning in all aspects of life.
