Abstract
Globally, depressive disorders affect over 311 million people and women are more likely than men to suffer depression. However, no study has comprehensively described the diverse health services used for managing depression in middle-aged and older women. A cross-sectional survey was sent to 800 Australian women aged over 45-years reporting a diagnosis of depression, (a sub-study of the 45 and Up Study) in 2016. The survey measured consultations with conventional, allied, and complementary health practitioners, and use of medications and complementary health products/practices for depression, and the associated out-of-pocket expenses.
