“…Consistent with findings from other general population studies (Hay et al, 2008;Hudson et al, 2007;Wells et al, 2006), there were no participants who currently met criteria for AN. The participants were highly symptomatic at inception but only 3% were in treatment for their eating problems.…”

We investigated the 2-year course and putative predictors of outcome of 87 young community women with common eating disorders (n = 59, 68% with Eating Disorder not Otherwise Specified) following a health literacy (informational) intervention. Participants were recruited in 3-phases: community survey, interview and then invitation to a longitudinal study. The health literacy intervention was provided randomly to half participants at baseline and half at 1 year. Eating disorder symptoms and mental health related quality of life (MHQoL), general psychological function, help-seeking, and defence style were assessed at baseline, and after 2 years by questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to identify features predictive of eating disorder symptom levels and MHQoL. Eating disorder psychopathology remained high and MHQoL remained poor. In the multivariate models, a higher baseline level of immature defence style significantly predicted higher levels of eating disorder symptoms, poorer MHQoL and more disability as measured by 'days out of role'. In addition, higher educational attainment, baseline general psychological disturbance, lower BMI and having main work outside the home were associated with poorer MHQoL. Women with common eating disorders followed to 2 years continued to be highly symptomatic and have poor quality of life. Psychological features important to outcome included an immature coping style and higher general psychological distress.

“…The past-year prevalence of MDD was lower than several other recent surveys, such as the US National Comorbidity Survey Replication (6.6%) 12 and the New Zealand Te Rau Hinengaro (5.7%). 13 In highincome countries, past-year prevalence estimates in the WMH Surveys Initiative included some lower estimates as well; for example, 2.2% in Japan and 3.0% in Germany. 5 Systematic reviews for the Global Burden of Disease Studies placed the point prevalence of MDD at 3.7% (95% uncertainty interval 3.1% to 4.3%), 14 similar to the 12-month prevalence reported here.…”

Objective: The epidemiology of major depressive disorder (MDD) was first described in the Canadian national population in 2002. Updated information is now available from a 2012 survey: the Canadian Community Health Study—Mental Health (CCHS-MH). Method: The CCHS-MH employed an adaptation of the World Health Organization World Mental Health Composite International Diagnostic Interview and had a sample of n = 25 113. Demographic variables, treatment, comorbidities, suicidal ideation, and perceived stigma were assessed. The analysis estimated adjusted and unadjusted frequencies and prevalence ratios. All estimates incorporated analysis methods to account for complex survey design effects. Results: The past-year prevalence of MDD was 3.9% (95% CI 3.5% to 4.2%). Prevalence was higher in women and in younger age groups. Among respondents with past-year MDD, 63.1% had sought treatment and 33.1% were taking an antidepressant (AD); 4.8% had past-year alcohol abuse and 4.5% had alcohol dependence. Among respondents with past-year MDD, the prevalence of cannabis abuse was 2.5% and that of dependence was 2.9%. For drugs other than cannabis, the prevalence of abuse was 2.3% and dependence was 2.9%. Generalized anxiety disorder was present in 24.9%. Suicide attempts were reported by 6.6% of respondents with past-year MDD. Among respondents accessing treatment, 37.5% perceived that others held negative opinions about them or treated them unfairly because of their disorder. Conclusions: MDD is a common, burdensome, and stigmatized condition in Canada. Seeking help from professionals was reported at a higher frequency than in prior Canadian studies, but there has been no increase in AD use among Canadians with MDD.

“…The prevalence of major depressive disorder (MDD) in the general population has frequently been found to decrease with increasing age (Regier et al 1988;Karel, 1997;Beekman et al 1999;Kessler et al 2003a;Alonso et al 2004;Pirkola et al 2005;Wells et al 2006;Troller et al 2007), and the picture for anxiety disorders is similar (Regier et al 1988;Jorm, 2000;Alonso et al 2004;Wells et al 2006;Troller et al 2007). A number of methodological reasons have been advanced for this, including selective mortality, excluding the institutionalized from the sample and cohort effects (Karel, 1997;Jorm, 2000;Snowdon, 2001;Hybels & Blazer, 2002;O'Connor, 2006).…”
