Abstract		Depression is a common health problem but studies have suggested that despite several efficient treatment possibilities it is often inadequately treated in general practice. A representative sample of Slovene general practitioners was studied to examine their treatment patterns of commonly occuring clinical situation. A study was carried out using a questionnaire with a case study of a women with depression. We have examined also which factors influenced their decision making process. A questionnaire was returned by 75% of participants. 80% of GPs would treat patient by themselves and 20% would refer the patient to a psychiatrist. Only about 61% of GPs have chosen expected treatment, although the vast majority of them adequately identified clinical depression. The study has also given important information about the factors influencing adequate treatment.
Summary		Depresija je nezanemarljiv zdravstveni problem. Raziskave nakazujejo, da je kljub številnim učinkovitim možnostim zdravljenja obravnava v splošni medicini neustrezna. Izvedena je bila raziskava na reprezentativnem vzorcu slovenskih zdravnikov splošne medicine, v kateri smo raziskali, kako zdravniki obravnavajo depresivnega bolnika. Raziskava je bila narejena s pomočjo vprašalnika s pisnim primerom ženske z depresijo. Raziskali smo tudi dejavnike, ki vplivajo na odločanje pri zdravstveni obravnavi. Odgovorilo je 75% vprašanih. 80% zdravnikov bi bolnico zdravilo sami in 20% bi jo napotilo k psihiatru. Le 61% zdravnikov se je odločilo za ustrezno zdravljenje, čeprav je velika večina ustrezno prepoznala primer. Raziskava je dala tudi pomembne informacije o dejavnikih, ki vplivajo na odločanje.
