Further, social interaction was found to exert a protective effect on depression among older people, and it has been reported that older Japanese males who frequently meet with their friends experience lower rates of depression over a 4-year period28. Researchers in Singapore identified an ...
Moreover, the rates of depression increase substantially among people in the age group 85–89 by 20–25% and 90 years and older by 30–50% [2]. Similar results were found in a Swedish study among very old adults, where the prevalence of depression in 85-year-olds was 16.8% and ...
173,174]. Depression can also be a precursor to or symptom of dementia, with prevalence rates ranging from 17 to 56% across all stages of AD [175]. Depression co-occurring with dementia worsens cognitive performance beyond what would be...
Patients in psychiatry trials also may have higher relapse rates (often as high as 50% to 80% over a 1- to 2-year period)5-7 compared with the relapse rate of 35% to 36% found in this trial. The higher than anticipated rates of longitudinal use of antidepressant medication in UC ...
To further explore the association of baseline severity with response rates, we ran a subgroup analysis using baseline PHQ-9 scores: less than 10 (mild depressive symptoms); 10 to 15 (moderate depression); 15 to 19 (moderately severe depression); and more than 19 (severe depression). Next,...
However, in real-world practice, treatment response rates are low. A recent observational study on TRD in Europe confirmed that TRD patients have a poor chance of achieving remission at both 6 and 12 months; moreover, ...
Farmers were moving to the cities in the 1920s precisely because farming was becoming more mechanized, as machines were replacing workers. So I’m not sure the 100 year trend of farmers moving to the cities depressed real interest rates at all. ...

Furthermore, these apps have not always outperformed control interventions and tend to have high drop-out rates that are worse with more severe depression154. Nonetheless, given that computerized treatments are generally inexpensive, noninvasive, and can be tailored to the individual, these ...
