Measuring the Cost of Undiagnosed Depression
Milliman Aug. 10, 2012 "Based on 2000 data, the total annual cost of depression was estimated to be $83.1 billion, with $26.1 billion (31 percent) being spent on medical costs ... and $51.5 billion associated with workplace expenses, including absences and loss of productivity.... [T[he median delay from the onset of depression to the beginning of treatment was estimated to be eight years for major depression and seven years for dysthymia.... While the post-diagnosis costs of depression have been studied widely ... the literature isn't as robust on the costs for health care and absence from work during the period between the initial onset of the disease and its subsequent diagnosis." |
