Caring for Depression
Kenneth B. Wells
Roland Sturm
Cathy D. Sherbourne
Lisa S. Meredith
Although depression is a major illness affecting millions of people, it is seriously undertreated in the United States. The ongoing shift of mental-health care away from specialists and toward primary medical-care providers is causing fewer depressed patients to be appropriately diagnosed and treated. The authors urge the integration of both medical and economic considerations in designing policies for the treatment of depression.

Chronic Condition
Sherry Glied
Chronic Condition provides a compelling analysis of the current health care crisis. Sherry Glied is uniquely qualified to address this issue, having served as a Senior Economist on the President's Council of Economic Advisors with responsibility for health care policy during both the Bush and Clinton administrations. She offers an ingenious new framework for reform that, while minimizing government interference, would provide a means for financing care for the less affluent.
