Prise en charge des personnes souffrant de troubles dépressifs-Données d'enquête en population générale

The SMPG survey confirms the international finding concerning the treatment of depressed people. Several problems were pointed out : an important part of depressed people had never taken any treatment, less than half claimed they were stated to be treated for depression, a minority received a psychotherapy, and very few had a minimal adequate treatment. In France, more psychiatric epidemiologic surveys are needed to confirm and specify these findings.
