Abstract

Here we describe the differences and similarities between training General Practitioners (GPs) to manage depression in primary
care and issuing them with guidelines, and a system of Collaborative care in the treatment of depression between primary and
secondary care.
From these we deduce the reasons why collaborative care may offer better treatment outcomes than the issuing of guidelines to
GPs.
