This unique book presents original research from the largest
cross-national survey of the epidemiology of mental disorders ever
conducted. It provides the latest findings from the WHO World
Mental Health Surveys based on interviews of nearly 150,000
individuals in twenty-six countries on six continents. The book is
ordered by specific disorder, with individual chapters dedicated to
presenting detailed findings on the prevalence, onset timing,
sociodemographic profile, comorbidity, associated impairment and
treatment for eighteen mental disorders. There is also discussion
of important cross-national consistencies in the epidemiology of
mental disorders and highlighting of intriguing patterns of
cross-national variation. This is one of the most comprehensive
summaries of the epidemiology of mental disorders ever published,
making this an invaluable resource for researchers, clinicians,
students and policy-makers in the fields of mental and public
health.
The World Mental Health Surveys were established by the World
Health Organization in 2000 to provide valuable information for
physicians and health policy planners. These surveys have shed
light on the prevalence, correlates, burden, and treatment of
mental disorders in countries throughout the world. This volume
focuses on the epidemiology of coexisting physical and mental
illness around the world. This book includes surveys from 17
discrete countries on six continents, covering epidemiology, risk
factors, consequences, and implications for research, clinical
work, and policy. Many physical and mental illnesses share a
relationship with one another and often occur simultaneously.
Clinicians from the disciplines of both psychiatry and medicine are
increasingly faced with both challenges on a daily basis, making
this an ideal book for a wide range of health professionals. This
is the first book devoted to this topic on such a wide-ranging
scale.
