Competing Interests
JR is employed by Innovus, a commercial research organization that performs consultancy services to the pharmaceutical industry, including some of the manufacturers of products mentioned in this article. MH is employed by AstraZeneca Nordic. None of these commercial entities has had anything to do with the current study and this does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials. JR was previously employed by TLV, a government agency in Sweden. TLV has reviewed the reimbursement status of antidepressants in Sweden and that review was the starting point of the current study.
