Objectives: In Japan, there are currently no approved antidepressant treatments for pediatric patients with depression. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of depression among adolescents under medical care in Japan, the pharmacological treatments used, and the perceived unmet needs among the medical specialties treating depression in the pediatric population. Methods: The study was conducted in November 2014 as an internet survey among physicians in clinical practice. It included a sample of 731 physicians with the potential to treat adolescent patients with depression and 161 physicians who had treated at least one adolescent with depression with pharmacotherapy in the previous 12 months. Of the sample of 161 treating physicians, 60 were internal medicine specialists, 73 were psychiatrists, and 28 were certified specialists from the Japanese Society of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Japanese Society of Psychosomatic Medicine Pediatrics, or Japanese Society of Pediatric Psychiatry and Neurology. The participants completed questionnaires concerning their patient population with depression, drug-treated population, and drugs prescribed. Results: Estimates of prevalence data indicated that there were ∼550,000 adolescent patients with depression in Japan (10% of the patient population with depression) under medical care of different medical specialties; ∼64% of these patients were receiving pharmacotherapy. Pharmacotherapy for adolescents with depression was prescribed mainly by psychiatrists (62% of prescriptions for these patients). The most common first-choice agent was sertraline (23% of respondents) followed by anxiolytics (17%) and fluvoxamine (13%), while antipsychotics were the preferred choice for 7%. Conclusion: The study indicates a high prevalence of depression among adolescents in Japan. These patients are seen by different medical specialties; the use of pharmacotherapy is relatively common and comprises various drug classes, including antidepressants, anxiolytics, and antipsychotics. This study shows that there is a medical need for approved treatments for adolescents with depression in Japan.
