Factors That Impact Treatment Decisions: Results From an Online Survey of Individuals With Bipolar and Unipolar Depression.

Conclusions: Side effects, doctor recommendations, cost, and rapidity of antidepressant effects were determined to be particularly important factors in making treatment decisions, with doctor recommendations being more influential for medication users and cost being more influential for participants not using medications. These findings highlight the importance of patient-centered factors in adjudicating treatment decisions. PMID: 30444959 [PubMed - in process]
