My intent in this paper is to review a rather large and all-too-inexact body of research on the epidemiology of mental illness, to see what it adds up to and what problems it poses for further research. I shall be highly selective, and I shall be highly summary. Instead of reviewing the studies one by one, I shall talk of general issues and bring in whatever studies are most relevant. It hardly need be stressed that my way of selecting these issues and my evaluation of the studies represent only one person's view of the field and would not necessarily be agreed to by others. Before I get to the main issues, I should like to make four general comments, by way of introduction
