The Economic Burden of Adults with Major Depressive Disorder in the United States (2010 and 2018).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incremental economic burden of US adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) was estimated at $US210.5 billion in 2010 (year 2012 values).

Objective

Following a similar methodology, this study updates the previous findings with more recent data to report the economic burden of adults with MDD in 2018.

Method

This study used a framework for evaluating the incremental economic burden of adults with MDD in the USA that combined original and literature-based estimates, focusing on key changes between 2010 and 2018. The prevalence rates of MDD by sex, age, employment, and treatment status over time were estimated based on the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). The incremental direct and workplace costs per individual with MDD were primarily der
