Default Re: Depression, Anxiety

I read an article in Lancet way back in the 80's or 90's and the guts of it following a survey was GP's thought they could diagnose and treat depressive illnesses but in fact none of them had the time to spend with the patient. So rather that try treatments such as cognitive behaviour, REM etc they opt to dispense pills. Which raises the question that once diagnosed, who is the right professional to provide treatment?
