Highlights
Disabling emotional and physical symptoms marks depression: it has a severe negative impact on mental wellbeing, quality of life and social and work-related functioning of those who suffer from it
The World Heath Organization in 2015 said that the depression is a treatable pathology but most people with depression do not receive the care and support they need: always more frequently, depression is not recognized and not treated; this exposes those affected at various negative consequences
In Italy (Italian Ministry of Health, 2013, www.salute.gov.it) only the 29% of patients affected by depression takes to a treatment in the same year in which the pathology appears (Wang et al, 2007)

Theory/Methods: It is necessary improving the collaborative care between the primary and secondary care and give new tools to the patients supporting them in management of their disease.
