Publisher's Synopsis
The GP is in a unique position to play a key role in the prevention of depression and anxiety; in fact, psychological problems are prominent in about a quarter of consultations with adults. However, there is a dearth of research or literature available to enable a preventative strategy to be developed. This volume is based on presentations given at a conference in this subject held at the Royal College of Physicians. It will be of great value to GPs and primary care teams and those members of the primary care team at present in training.
