Abstract
The lifetime risk of major depression among Americans is 17 percent, with as many as 10 percent suffering from depression in any 1-year period. The author reviews the epidemiology of depression, costs of treatment and nontreatment, and its economic impact on quality of life and daily function. This review also examines ways to improve value for money spent relative to this disease.Entities:
