We evaluated the relationship between insomnia symptom severity and the clinical, economic, and patient-centric burden among community-dwelling individuals with MDD.
Methods: Respondents with diagnosed depression who reported insomnia symptoms in the past 12 months (N = 4402) were identified from the 2019 United States National Health and Wellness Survey.
Background: Although insomnia is a common core symptom of major depressive disorder (MDD), the burden of moderate-to-severe insomnia symptoms in patients with MDD is not well-understood. This study quantified the clinical, patient-centric, and economic burden of adults with MDD with moderate-to-severe insomnia symptoms (MDDIS) compared to adults with MDD with no-to-mild insomnia symptoms (other-MDD) and adults without MDD.
Methods: Data from 2019 US National Health and Wellness Survey identified adults self-reporting physician-diagnosed depression, stratified by insomnia status (MDDIS: Insomnia Severity Index [ISI] score ≥15; other-MDD: ISI score <15), and adults not reporting depression (non-MDD).
