Unipolar Depression | Current Treatment | US | 2016
In the United States, more than 32 million people suffer from unipolar depression, an indication that consists of major depressive disorder, minor depression, and dysthymia.

This content examines psychiatrists’ and PCPs’ intricate treatment paradigms, as well as the motivations behind their prescribing decisions.
