Abstract in brief
- This study estimates that about 28 million adults in the United States are affected by treatment-resistant depression (TRD) within the broader group of nearly 89 million people with medication-treated major depressive disorder (MDD).
- The total yearly economic burden of medication-treated MDD is approximately $927 billion, with TRD making up around $472 billion, highlighting its significant impact on healthcare costs, employment, and productivity.
- The findings suggest that improving management of TRD could lead to substantial economic and societal benefits, given its disproportionate contribution to healthcare costs, unemployment, and reduced productivity.]
