Related Experiment Videos

  • Estimates of depression's societal cost vary widely but are considerable, with morbidity costs being the largest factor.
  • Depression is often underdiagnosed and undertreated, despite effective treatment options.
  • Interventions to improve general practitioner skills showed mixed results in reducing societal costs, as seen in the Gotland and Hampshire studies.

    • Conclusions:

    • The extent to which societal costs of depression can be reduced is currently uncertain.
    • Prioritizing research in the health economics of depressive disorders is crucial.
