Depression: the treatments are there, let's improve diagnosis
According to a WHO estimate, depression affects 5% of the adult population globally, a phenomenon made even more alarming by the Covid pandemic. In Italy it affects 3.5 million people, half of whom do not receive a correct diagnosis, while only a third of those affected receive adequate treatment. The tools to improve the performance of the system exist: the challenge is to integrate clinical and organizational skills in the area and to use the economic resources allocated to this pathology more effectively
