Major depression is impacting so many lives in British Columbia. Please check this video of the economic model that I had the honour of leading in the past 2 years. The economic modeling was part of the PGx4Dep project, lead by Dr. Jehannine Austin Stirling Bryan

Please check our paper on collaboration with patient partners to develop economic models!
