Does Patient Adherence to Antidepressant Medication Actually Vary Between Physicians?

Early discontinuation of antidepressant treatment is not an appropriate measure of individual physician performance, and efforts to improve adherence should emphasize system-level interventions rather than the performance of individual physicians.
