Mental disorders have profound social, cultural, and economic
effects throughout the world. Although most psychiatry and
psychology texts provide some basic data on the prevalence and
treatment of mental disorders, no previous book has ever presented
such data with the breadth or depth of the current volume.
Reported here are the first results of the WHO World Mental Health
(WMH) Survey Initiative, the largest coordinated series of
cross-national psychiatric epidemiological surveys ever undertaken.
The general population surveys in the WMH series span 17 countries
in all parts of the world. In many of these countries the WMH
surveys provide the first community epidemiological data ever
available on mental disorders in the population. The detailed
information on lifetime prevalence, age of onset, course,
correlates, and treatment of mental disorders in this volume
provides mental health professionals and healthcare policy planners
with an unprecedented state-of-the-art reference on the
cross-national descriptive epidemiology of mental disorders.
