  • 028<br /> FORTUNE Brainstorm Health 2023<br /> Wednesday, April 26th, 2023<br /> Los Angeles, CA, USA 1:00-2:20 PM<br /> CONCURRENT LUNCHES<br /> A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO BETTER TREATMENT OF DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS<br /> Hosted by Sage Therapeutics<br /> Major depressive disorder and postpartum depression can take a serious toll on a person’s overall health and financial situation. And yet, research shows that over half of Americans with mental illness do not receive treatment. Those that do often find themselves waiting weeks for relief. Major depressive disorder and postpartum depression each face entrenched inequalities in access to treatment despite growing clinical and social investment. Addressing this widespread mental health crisis can’t rely on one solution—depressive disorders aren’t monolithic and meeting the needs of each individual deserves equal urgency. Embracing technology, innovative treatment systems, and culturally responsive support can help enable quicker treatments and better outcomes for patients. Hear from leaders using the latest science and technology to deliver a more holistic approach to the treatment of depressive disorders.
