Psychiatric diagnosis in primary care patients with increased depressive symptoms.

CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that most of the primary care patients with increased depressive symptoms have a psychiatric disorder. Although depression is the most common diagnosis, there are several other concurrent psychiatric comorbidities. Therefore, diagnostic assessment of primary care patients with a screening score over 9 in the BDI-21 should be reconsidered. PMID: 30929594 [PubMed - in process]
