Join the “Do you know Depression?” Search Competition

According to the WHO, researchers estimate that in 2030 depression will become the first-ranked disease in global socio-economic burden, rising from the third place in 2004. A U.S. study found that depression caused a U.S. economic loss of $21 billion in 2010, higher than cancer ($13 billion) and diabetes ($17 billion), while investments in research and treatment of depression are far lower. As the number of people with depression on campus increases, let’s raise awareness through this search competition.

Question 3: Treatment of Depression

Ideally, depression should be treated continuously for one year (or longer). However, according to the statistics from Taiwan National Health Insurance Administration, 32.42% of depression patients have less than three visits throughout a year – and inconsistent medical treatment and early discontinuity can easily lead to incomplete depression treatment, deterioration of depression symptoms and even increased risk of suicide.
