Given the highly genericized nature of the MDD therapy market, the differences in the availability of drugs in the EU5, the heterogeneity of the MDD patient population, and patients\u2019 varied responses to treatment, the prescribing pattern of EU5 psychiatrists and GPs \/ internists can vary. Understanding the decision points and challenges that physicians face when treating MDD is paramount for marketers of current therapies and developers of emerging therapies to assess the opportunities for drug development in this highly prevalent indication in Europe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Questions answered<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What are the drivers and constraints influencing physicians\u2019 treatment decisions for MDD?<\/li>\n<li>How are patients being treated in various lines of therapy, and what is the patient share of individual therapies?<\/li>\n<li>What percentage of drug-treated MDD patients are partial responders, and what percentage are treatment-resistant?
