Recognizing that child and adolescent psychiatry operates in the context of opinions, we set out to discover GPs' views and prescribing practices in connection to adolescent depressive presentations. Two-thirds o-.f respondents felt there had been a recent increase in presentations and their views oil the reasons were further examined. However, only one third have been prescribing more often and the reasons for this were also examined. It is clear that although they recognize increased unhappiness among youngsters this is not often seen as 'illness depression'. The implications are further discussed.

Key Words: adolescents • antidepressants • depression • general practitioners
