A Review of the Clinical, Economic, and Societal Burden of Treatment-Resistant Depression: 1996–2013

Psychiatric Services · 2014 · Vol. 65(8) · pp. 977–987

Abstract

Treatment-resistant depression exacts a substantial toll on patients' quality of life. At current rates of 12%-20% among all depressed patients, treatment-resistant depression may present an annual added societal cost of $29-$48 billion, pushing up the total societal costs of major depression by as much as $106-$118 billion. These findings underscore the need for research on the mechanisms of depression, new therapeutic targets, existing and new treatment combinations, and tests to improve the efficacy of and adherence to treatments for treatment-resistant depression.
