abstract="PURPOSE: To examine gaps in service in the treatment of depression and suicidal ideation. METHODS: A phenomenological investigation of clients' (n = 10) and service providers' (n = 40) perspectives. FINDINGS: Compartmentalized systems of care and lack of continuity between inpatient and outpatient treatment contributed to a sense of frustration in both groups. Receiving mental health care was likened to being given a broken-apart puzzle with individual pieces shuffling around in a box. Little bits of help are available, but none of them mesh. CONCLUSIONS: Comprehensive solutions are needed if the human and social implications of depression are to be addressed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
