Abstract

A disease that affects around 300 million people worldwide, depression will be the main cause of absence from work by 2020. The search for treatment for psychiatric disorders such as depression faces obstacles due to prejudice, which is a reality for issues related to mental health. Today's ABPTV program, August 13th, the day we celebrate Psychiatrist's Day, presents a special on the topic of Depression. To answer questions from internet users, doctors Antônio Geraldo da Silva and Cláudio Martins will participate from now on.
