How easy is it to be overprescribed anti depressives?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fairly: Many pts are given antidepressants for a variety of psychiatric problems by their family docs because they r nonaddicting, relatively safe and well tolerated--on the other hand a high percentage of depressed pts go unrecognized & untreated.
