Description | Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a widespread disease, with a lifetime prevalence of 15% and an annual incidence of approximately 7%. It is associated with significant costs in quality of life, loss of work productivity, and a high risk of mortality. It is predicted to become the leading cause of disability in Western countries by 2030. |
