| Annotation | Detecting and managing geriatric depression is a growing challenge for both primary care physicians and psychiatrists, who may not assess the symptoms and treatment urgency in a similar manner. Learning more about the clinical reasoning models leading to management suggestions may be beneficial for collaboration and continuing medical education of different professional groups. These conclusions are reached with a group of Finnish participants comprising 25 primary care physicians and 11 psychiatrists in Helsinki, whose written responses and focus group discussions were analysed.
