SYNDROMES, DISORDERS
The largest diagnostic group among sick-listed women and men in Sweden is common mental disorders (CMD), that is, depression, anxiety syndromes and stress-related mental disorder (adjustment disorder, exhaustion disorder).Since the largest proportion of individuals with mental illness seek primary care, usually with symptoms that manifest in depressive and/or anxiety symptoms, primary healthcare centres are a relevant arena for interventions.In an earlier Swedish study, PRIM-CARE randomised controlled trial (RCT) (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02378272), a care manager intervention at the PCC improved RTW and reduced sick leave for patients with depression compared with care as usual (CAU).
