“…These trends coincided with a major economic downturn that affected the mental health of all ages in many communities. 31 -35 However, consistent with a previous report of no change in the prevalence of adult MDE in the United States over a similar time period, 36 no change in the prevalence of MDE was noted in the 21 to 25 age range.…”

RESULTS:The 12-month prevalence of MDEs increased from 8.7% in 2005 to 11.3% in 2014 in adolescents and from 8.8% to 9.6% in young adults (both P < .001). The increase was larger and statistically significant only in the age range of 12 to 20 years. The trends remained significant after adjustment for substance use disorders and sociodemographic factors. Mental health care contacts overall did not change over time; however, the use of specialty mental health providers increased in adolescents and young adults, and the use of prescription medications and inpatient hospitalizations increased in adolescents.

Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments (CANMAT) 2016 Clinical Guidelines for the Management of Adults with Major Depressive Disorder

et al. 2016

Background: The Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments (CANMAT) conducted a revision of the 2009 guidelines by updating the evidence and recommendations. The scope of the 2016 guidelines remains the management of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults, with a target audience of psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. Methods: Using the question-answer format, we conducted a systematic literature search focusing on systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Evidence was graded using CANMAT-defined criteria for level of evidence. Recommendations for lines of treatment were based on the quality of evidence and clinical expert consensus. This section is the first of six guidelines articles.Results: In Canada, the annual and lifetime prevalence of MDD was 4.7% and 11.3%, respectively. MDD represents the second leading cause of global disability, with high occupational and economic impact mainly attributable to indirect costs. DSM-5 criteria for depressive disorders remain relatively unchanged, but other clinical dimensions (sleep, cognition, physical symptoms) may have implications for depression management. e-Mental health is increasingly used to support clinical and selfmanagement of MDD. In the 2-phase (acute and maintenance) treatment model, specific goals address symptom remission, functional recovery, improved quality of life, and prevention of recurrence. Conclusions:The burden attributed to MDD remains high, whether from individual distress, functional and relationship impairment, reduced quality of life, or societal economic cost. Applying core principles of care, including comprehensive assessment, therapeutic alliance, support of self-management, evidence-informed treatment, and measurement-based care, will optimize clinical, quality of life, and functional outcomes in MDD.

“…The scope of mental illness in the United States is extensive, with estimates suggesting that approximately one‐fifth of the population experiences moderate or severe psychological distress within any given month (Mojtabai & Jorm, ). Similarly, lifetime prevalence rates for specific psychiatric disorders are high, including major depressive disorder (20.6%), borderline personality disorder (11.4%), and any anxiety disorder (17.2%; Harford, Chen, Kerridge, & Grant, ; Hasin & Grant, ).…”

Awareness of and attitudes toward CBT, DBT, and ACT in an acute psychiatric sample

et al. 2019

Objective Treatment utilization for psychiatric illness is low, perhaps influenced by limited consumer knowledge of evidence‐based psychological treatments (EBPTs). To inform consumer‐directed dissemination efforts, we characterized preferences, beliefs, and knowledge about specific EBPTs (cognitive behavioral therapy [CBT], dialectical behavior therapy [DBT], and acceptance and commitment therapy [ACT]); and examined potential sociodemographic and treatment history correlates. Method Before receiving treatment at a psychiatric partial hospital, patients (n = 249) completed the Psychological Treatment Consumer Questionnaire. Results Most (75%) patients felt responsible for being aware of psychotherapy options and that it was important to receive research‐supported psychotherapy (80%), but were split on whether research (42%) or their provider's recommendation (58%) carried greater decisional weight. Most (93%) patients had heard of CBT (93%) and DBT (71%), but not ACT (35%). Prior exposure to these EBPTs increased the likelihood of recommending them to others. Conclusions Findings support initiatives to enhance consumer familiarity with these EBPTs and inform dissemination efforts.
