Depression and anxiety Depression is a disease that affects a large proportion of the population, and it is also one of the most disabling diseases. According to the WHOs latest depression study, the disease ranks among the 10 leading causes of disability. WHO estimates that depression will become the second-largest cause of the global health burden by 2020. (Source: WHO, 2001) In the workplace, the impact of depressive disorders has serious consequences both for the individual and for the work places. Illness, absenteeism, accidents and staff turnover are affected by an employees mental health status. In the United States, national spending on depression alone is estimated at USD 43.7 billion annually, with 200 million workdays lost each year. In the UK, an estimated 80 million workdays are lost annually. (Source: Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 1993) Almost 95% of patients suffering from depression also suffer a form of anxiety disorder such as generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder (SAD), panic disorder (PD) or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). These disorders are highly impairing to the patient, and they are very common and under-diagnosed. Anxiety disorders are treatable. Approx. 19 million American adults suffer from a form of anxiety. The disorders fill peoples lives with overwhelming and irrational anxiety and fear, unlike the relatively mild, brief anxiety caused by a stressful and dangerous event. They are chronic, unrelenting and can grow progressively worse if not treated. Those that suffer from anxiety disorders are frequently incapable of maintaining employment, completing an education or carrying out normal responsibilities at home. Intense anxiety may render patients incapable of attaining their full potential both personally and within the workforce. Furthermore, anxiety inhibits creating true friendships and, as such, tends to further isolate its victims from society. Prevalence According to the WHOs report from 2001, an estimated 340 million people around the world suffer from a depressive disorder for which they require treatment. More women than men suffer from depression. It is estimated that 1.9% of all men and 3.2% of all women suffer from a depressive disorder. Many people will be afflicted by a depressive disorder at some point in their lives. The WHO projects that 17% of all men and women will suffer from a depressive disorder at some point in their lives. In the seven major pharmaceutical markets (France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, the UK, and the USA), an estimated 86 million people suffered from a depressive disorder that required treatment in 2001. However, not many depression patients are correctly diagnosed. It is estimated that only close to 40%, or approx. 35 million people in the seven major markets were diagnosed with depression in 2001. The USA has a diagnosis rate of close to 55%, while it is only between 35 and 45% in Europe. Japan has the lowest diagnosis rate, with only about 15% of depression patients being diagnosed as such in 2001. (Source: Decision Resources, Psychiatric Disorders Study #1, November 2002). Most depression patients experience the disease in episodes. Many patients who receive treatment for their first depression episode will not be afflicted by the disease again, but 55-60% will experience a new episode within two years. (Source: Decision Resource, Psychiatry Disorders Study #1, 2002). Anxiety is a frequent partner of depression, and the majority of all depressed patients suffer from anxiety symptoms. Conversely, it is likely that 20-65% of patients suffering from anxiety are also depressed. Anxiety can be divided into different indication areas, the best known are generalised anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The close correlation between depression and anxiety is one of the reasons for the large variations in the results of epidemiological anxiety studies. The number of patients who only suffer from anxiety, is estimated at 60 million people in the seven major pharmaceutical markets in 2002. Only about 11 million of these patients received treatment. Patients who suffer from panic disorders followed by generalised anxiety disorders represent the largest group of patients receiving treatment for their anxiety disorder. It is estimated that social anxiety disorder will be the second-most treated anxiety disorder by 2012. The lifetime risk of experiencing an anxiety disorder is approx. 20% for men and approx. 30% for women. (Source: Morpace 2001). Lundbecks drugs and R&D activities Lundbecks goal is always to be able to offer patients the best drugs for the treatment of depressive disorders. Since the 1950s, Lundbeck has been among the leading developers of drugs for the treatment of depression. Lundbeck was one of the first companies to market the first generation antidepressants tricyclic antidepressants (TCA). In the 1970s and 1980s, Lundbeck was also a front-runner in its development of an SSRI (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor).
