Introduction: Work-related disability and productivity loss in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) are critical determinants of patient quality of life and contribute significantly to the human and economic costs of MDD. Notwithstanding the return to work and pre-morbid levels of functioning as a critical therapeutic objective among individuals with MDD, it is unclear whether antidepressant treatment significantly and reliably improves measures of workplace functioning. Herein, we investigate to what extent antidepressant treatment improves workplace functioning among adults with MDD. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled or active comparator clinical trials primarily or secondarily investigating the efficacy of antidepressant agents on subjective ratings of workplace functioning and/or measures of work absence. Results: Thirteen placebo-controlled and four active comparator clinical trials reported on the efficacy of agomelatine, bupropion, desvenlafaxine, duloxetine, fluoxetine, levomilnacipran, paroxetine, sertraline, venlafaxine, or vortioxetine on subjective measures of workplace impairment. Overall, antidepressant treatment improved standardized measures of workplace functioning (e.g., Sheehan Disability Scale-work item). One placebo-controlled trial of agomelatine and one clinical trial comparing the efficacy of vortioxetine to that of venlafaxine had mixed results on measures of work absence. Limitations: Included interventional trials evaluated work-related disability as a secondary outcome using subjective rating scales. Conclusion: Extant data suggest that antidepressant treatment improves workplace outcomes in MDD. The capability of antidepressants in improving measures of workplace functioning should be considered in cost-benefit analyses to better inform cost-modelling studies pertaining to antidepressant therapy.
