The long-term impact of antidepressant pharmacotherapy in India

Abstract

Despite the availability of effective treatments like anti-depressants, most people in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) do not receive care, due to provider scarcity, stigma, and low awareness. Antidepressants are potentially scalable in LMICs, but little is known about their long-term effects.

This research is part of the G2LM Gender, Growth and Labour Markets in Low-Income Countries programme.
