The Attitudes Toward Depression and its Treatment (ATDT) questionnaire was developed to assess these attitudes and beliefs; however, subsequent research revealed limitations in its psychometric properties. We sought to develop and validate a shortened version (ATDT-SF) with improved reliability.

A distinctive feature of psychiatry is the presence of countermovements that critically question the validity of diagnostic systems and the value of psychoactive drugs. Polarized positions frequently involve mutual accusations of being unscientific, a claim that may obscure underlying assumptions and hinder meaningful dialogue.
