We aimed to examine whether such differences exist in Japan.Methods: A web-based survey was conducted with patients who reported that they had been diagnosed with depression, and physicians who reported that they had treated patients with depression, in Japan. Questionnaires were designed to quantify patients’ perceptions of symptoms, social function, and treatment expectations. Patients were categorized into three stages of disorder based on their reported current symptoms: severe symptomatic, mild symptomatic, and remission. Physicians were assigned up to three patients, were provided with patient information from the questionnaire completed by those patients, and finally the completed questionnaire forms for each patient. Agreement between the perceptions of the patients and physicians was examined for each stage.Results: Of the 2618 eligible patients, 828 were assigned to 326 eligible physicians. Overall, we found small differences in the perceptions of depression treatment between patients/physicians. Slightly fewer physicians than patients reported physical symptoms (85% vs 91%; p=0.018) in the mild symptomatic stage. Fewer physicians than patients reported cognitive symptoms in the severe (82% vs 87%; p=0.029) and mild (54% vs 66%; p=0.003) symptomatic stages. Social function was deemed to be lower by physicians than by patients, across all stages of disorder (p< 0.001). Regarding treatment expectations, more physicians than patients reported “return to a normal life” in the mild symptomatic (51% vs 35%, p< 0.001) and remission stages (57% vs 36%, p< 0.001), and more patients than physicians reported “reduction of side effects” in the severe (10% vs 4%, p=0.004) and mild (12% vs 5%, p< 0.001) symptomatic disorder stages.Conclusion: These results suggest small differences in patient/physician perceptions of depression treatment in Japan. Discrepancies between patients’/physicians’ perceptions may vary depending on the medical environment.Keywords: depression, perception, patient, physician, web-based surveyIshigooka JHoshino TImai TYoshida HOno MOta MMoriguchi YFujikawa KShintani AFernandez JLDove Medical Pressarticledepressionperceptionpatientphysicianweb-based surveyNeurosciences.
