Abstract

Abstract : Major depression is the leading cause of ill health and disability worldwide. 2017 marked the year when the World Health Organization led a one‐year global campaign with the goal that more people with depression both seek and get help. 1, 2 In England, Hospital Episode Statistics and Mental Health and Learning Disabilities data sets show that one in three patients with depression are unrecognised. Those who are recognised are often then under‐treated, fail to achieve remission and have difficulty returning to full functioning.
