Americans With Depression Are Undertreated


Jan. 4, 2010 -- A new study shows only half of Americans with depression
receive any type of treatment for it, and certain minorities may face even
greater difficulties in getting the treatment they need.
Researchers found only one in five Americans suffering from clinical
depression receives treatment consistent with recommended guidelines.
In addition, Mexican-Americans, Caribbean blacks, and African-Americans with
depression were half as likely as others to receive any type of depression
treatment or the recommended care.
"Although depression is a leading cause of disability in the United States,
few Americans with recent major depression receive any form of standard care
and even fewer receive care that is concordant with the American Psychiatric
Association guideline," write researcher Hector M. González, PhD, of Wayne
State University in Detroit, and colleagues in the Archives of General
Psychiatry.
The recommended depression treatment depends upon the individual's needs and
often includes a combination of psychotherapy and medication.
In the study, researchers analyzed information from a nationwide survey of
15,762 adults conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health between 2001
and 2003.
The results showed 8.3% had depression, including 8% of Mexican-Americans,
11.8% of Puerto Ricans, 7.9% of Caribbean blacks, 6.7% of African-Americans,
and 8.5% of non-Latino whites.
Overall, 51% of those with depression received at least one form of
depression treatment, but only 21% received at least one form of depression
treatment that conformed to established treatment guidelines in the past
year.
African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, and Caribbean blacks were the least
likely to receive any form of depression treatment with only 12%-14% receiving
any type of care.
Of those who received depression treatment, nearly 45% received
psychotherapy without any medication and 34% were prescribed
antidepressants.
Researchers also found Mexican-Americans and African-Americans used
antidepressants less often than whites. The study showed that people who were
undergoing psychotherapy were more likely to receive depression treatment in
line with the recommended guidelines than those who received medications
alone.
Researchers say the results reveal disparities in health care access that
are often overlooked. For example, Mexican-Americans showed the greatest
inequalities in mental health care in the study. Lack of health insurance
partly explained their lack of adequate depression treatment but did not
explain the low rate of depression treatment among African-Americans.
