From
depression
to panic,
mood and anxiety disorders
are a leading cause of suffering and impairment in America.
Though they are very much preventable, they frequently go
undetected, untreated, or under-prescribed. The result is
not only high morbidity and mortality rates, but also a staggering
cost to the US economy.
Recognizing
the
pervasiveness of this problem, Congress recently mandated
the development of treatment guidelines for mood and anxiety
disorders. In response, physicians at the Massachusetts General
Hospital established the Mood and Anxiety Disorders Institute,
under the leadership of several renowned experts in the field.
