Research shows that general practitioners fail to diagnose up to half of cases of depression or anxiety. 1 Many studies are cross sectional and have been criticised because, unlike primary care itself, they contain no longitudinal element. They do not always indicate whether undetected depression is important clinically or whether it is diagnosed at a later date, persists undetected, or causes disability.
