Find Them and Care for Them

Patients with major depressive disorder who didn’t receive any treatment were ~1.5-2x costlier to payers compared to those who received antidepressants and/or nonpharmacological treatment.

Stigma, antidepressant safety and effectiveness, severity of depression, patient and physician preferences, access to mental health care providers, and health care cost may all serve as barriers to accessing treatment.

Find them and get them the care they need. You’ll be glad you did.
