*1 Ongoing treatments: all treatments stated by physician or patient on reference date to be already taking place (not including interventions by the physician on the reference date). The table is based on data from physician and patient questionnaires.
*2 Severity as assessed by physician; some data were missing, so the numbers n for the three categories of depression do not add up to the total n.
*3 Severity as determined by means of DSQ
*4 Mentioned by physician or patient
*5 Mentioned by physician (only if physician questionnaire completed; therefore, number n deviates from the other data).
