journalArticle Rondet Claire Parizot Isabelle Cadwallader Jean S. Lebas Jacques Chauvin Pierre Why underserved patients do not consult their general practitioner for depression: results of a qualitative and a quantitative survey at a free outpatient clinic in Paris, France The prevalence of depression in the general population is 5 to 10% but can exceed 50% in the most socially vulnerable populations. The perceptions of this disease are widely described in the literature, but no research has been carried out in France to explain the reasons for not consulting a general practitioner during a depressive episode, particularly in people in the most precarious situations. The objective of this study was to describe the reasons for not seeking primary care during a depressive episode in a socially vulnerable population. 57 2015-05-08 en Why underserved patients do not consult their general practitioner for depression http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2296/16/57/comments 2015-11-23 13:08:43 www.biomedcentral.com 00000 PMID: 25951898 BMC Family Practice 16 1 DOI 10.1186/s12875-015-0273-2 ISSN 1471-2296
