The website of the Clinical Research Unit for Anxiety and Depression  at St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney provides information on anxiety and depressive disorder for sufferers and for clinicians. It contains information about the research activities and links to other related sites.

This site began in 2003 to meet the needs of general practitioners who were enrolling in the Better Outcomes in Mental Health Initiative of the Australian Govenment. With the advent of the Better Access initiative that provides Medicare payments to patients treated by psychologists, social workers and occupational therapists, it has become an important way to provide a common framework for the work of these professional groups.

More sites coming soon....
