Abstract
Study on the costs and burden of depression and anxiety in Catalonia in 2006 that aims to contribute to decision making and planning in mental health. It focuses on the costs of depression for different reasons: 1. It is the grouping with more costs and burdens for society and for the health system. For this reason, depression is a priority health goal on a global scale. 2. It has significant repercussions both on indirect costs for loss of productivity and on direct costs in the different headings (primary care, specialized care, hospitalization and pharmaceutical costs). 3. It allows comparisons of the evolution of the general health system over time and between territories. 4. It is a useful model for assessing costs of other mental disorders, addressing the costs of all the abovementioned headings
