Mood disorders are a global health issue. National guidelines for their detection and management have been published in the United States and in Europe. Are these guidelines accomplishing their intended purpose of improved detection and patient outcomes? Does introducing screening for depression automatically lead to improved outcomes? How should a screening instrument be selected from the many available? How can clinicians improve their own ability to detect depression?
