A team of University of California psychologists surveyed 1,054 adults in California to ask what might keep them from talking about depression with their doctors.
23% said they didn't want to take antidepressants.
12% said they didn't want to be labeled as a psyche patient.
16% said they didn't think psychological issues were a primary care issue
15% said they were concerned about medical record confidentiality.
This helps explain why about 25% of people with depression go undiagnosed, and therefore untreated.
