Patterns and predictors of the transition between minimally adequate treatment and effective treatment coverage for mental disorders
BACKGROUND: The quality of mental disorder treatment varies widely, with many patients not receiving treatments based on evidence-based guidelines. We examine data from the World Mental Health (WMH) surveys to investigate prevalence and correlates of receiving effective treatment coverage (ETC) among patients receiving minimally adequate treatment (MAT) in the 12 months before interview. METHODS: Data come from 25 WMH surveys carried out in 21 co…
Influence of Maternal Traumatic Experiences on Their Children’s Mental Health Symptoms in Afghanistan
BACKGROUND: Caregivers play an essential role in shaping their child's mental health outcomes. AIMS: This paper aimed to characterize the association between caregiver and child mental health among a highly traumatized population. METHODS: A total of 813 pairs of children and their female caregiver (mostly mother) were included. The SDQ parent version measured child mental health problems, which were classified in four categories: internal only, …
Informal Caregiving for Psychosocial Disability in the Time of the Post Covid Crisis of Welfare in Italy
BACKGROUND: Informal caregivers of individuals with psychosocial disabilities are at high risk of psychological distress, leading to depressive symptoms and reduced quality of life (QOL). The ongoing crisis in welfare systems, worsened by economic constraints and the COVID-19 pandemic, has further increased caregivers' burdens, especially in countries like Italy, where community-based care models are underfunded. This study aims to assess how thi…
Comparing stigma between French people experiencing schizophrenia versus bipolar disorders
BACKGROUND: Among the multiple challenges that people experiencing mental illness in general, and schizophrenia or bipolar disorders in particular, have to face, stigma appears to be one of the most difficult to tackle. In France, the body of research about stigma regarding people experiencing schizophrenia or bipolar disorders is growing, but not as much as in other western countries. AIMS: In this context, our study aims to explore and compare …
Depression during the Covid pandemic in La Manouba Governorate, Tunisia
BACKGROUND: It is difficult to quantify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health as many community surveys have limited quality, rely on screening tests to measure mental health conditions and distress, and often use convenience samples. Moreover, robust surveys come mainly from high-income countries. AIM: To measure the prevalence of depressive disorders with onset during the pandemic in a community of a Lower-Middle-income country (…
An attempt to integrate information from young children into parent/teacher-based mental health evaluation of child internalizing disorders in epidemiological surveys
Background: To date, most large surveys on the mental health of children under 11 years old have relied exclusively on data collected from parents and teachers, with no information from children themselves. However, these children are valuable informants despite their young age. Objective: To evaluate the effects of adding young children’s self-evaluation of internalizing disorders to a combined teacher/parent-based algorithm using data from a Eu…
Age of onset and cumulative risk of mental disorders
BACKGROUND: Information on the frequency and timing of mental disorder onsets across the lifespan is of fundamental importance for public health planning. Broad, cross-national estimates of this information from coordinated general population surveys were last updated in 2007. We aimed to provide updated and improved estimates of age-of-onset distributions, lifetime prevalence, and morbid risk. METHODS: In this cross-national analysis, we analyse…

Stress and anxiety among university students in France during Covid-19 mandatory confinement
While necessary from a public health standpoint, Covid-19 confinement strategies are often contrary to evidence-based therapies used to treat mental disorders. University students may be particularly vulnerable to mental health problems, but recent studies have indicated only a negligible impact of confinement strategies. French respondents to a World Mental Health survey of university students completed questions concerning Covid-19 confinement.…

Cohort Alcohol Use in France and the Transition from Use to Alcohol Use Disorder and Remission
The study aimed to examine the age of onset of stages of alcohol use in the general population, and to estimate the association of cohort use with the probability of transitioning from alcohol use to alcohol use disorder (AUD) and remission. French data (N = 2,894) from the European Study of the Epidemiology of Mental Disorders Survey and collected in 2000 were used. Data on lifetime history of alcohol use and DSM-IV alcohol use disorders, and re…
Aidants profanes en psychiatrie et politiques sociales
Le rôle des aidants profanes en santé mentale s'est considérablement accru suite à la désinstitutionnalisation, la famille et les proches des patients se voyant alors assigner un rôle désormais central, celui d'aidants dits « naturels ». Malgré un certain nombre d'aides sociales, destinées d'abord au patient, mais aussi à ses aidants, les familles déclarent en bénéficier très peu et se sentir relativement seules face à la gestion quotidienne de l…
Socio-economic variations in the mental health treatment gap for people with anxiety, mood, and substance use disorders
Background The treatment gap between the number of people with mental disorders and the number treated represents a major public health challenge. We examine this gap by socio-economic status (SES; indicated by family income and respondent education) and service sector in a cross-national analysis of community epidemiological survey data. Methods Data come from 16 753 respondents with 12-month DSM-IV disorders from community surveys in 25 countri…
Treatment gap for anxiety disorders is global
BACKGROUND: Anxiety disorders are a major cause of burden of disease. Treatment gaps have been described, but a worldwide evaluation is lacking. We estimated, among individuals with a 12-month DSM-IV (where DSM is Diagnostic Statistical Manual) anxiety disorder in 21 countries, the proportion who (i) perceived a need for treatment; (ii) received any treatment; and (iii) received possibly adequate treatment. METHODS: Data from 23 community surveys…
Factors Associated with Parent–Child Discrepancies in Reports of Mental Health Disorders in Young Children
Mental disorders among college students in the World Health Organization World Mental Health Surveys
Background Although mental disorders are significant predictors of educational attainment throughout the entire educational career, most research on mental disorders among students has focused on the primary and secondary school years. Method The World Health Organization World Mental Health Surveys were used to examine the associations of mental disorders with college entry and attrition by comparing college students ( n = 1572) and non-students…
The epidemiology of traumatic event exposure worldwide
Background Considerable research has documented that exposure to traumatic events has negative effects on physical and mental health. Much less research has examined the predictors of traumatic event exposure. Increased understanding of risk factors for exposure to traumatic events could be of considerable value in targeting preventive interventions and anticipating service needs. Method General population surveys in 24 countries with a combined …
Mental health of college students and their non-college-attending peers
Compared with their peers at work or in education/training, the prevalence of certain common mental health disorders was higher among college-aged individuals in the NENST group. Efforts should be made to help young adults in the transition between school or academic contexts and joining the workforce. It is also important to help youths with psychiatric disorders find an occupational activity and provide them information, care, support and couns…

Country-level and individual correlates of overweight and obesity among primary school children
Prevalence rates of overweight and obesity in school children is still high, especially in Eastern regions, with some socio-demographic factors and life-styles associated with being overweight. It is also in the Eastern region itself where better macro-economic indicators are related with lower rates of childhood overweight. This represents a public health concern that deserves special attention in those countries undertaking economic and politic…

Are there gender differences in service use for mental disorders across countries in the European Union? Results from the EU-World Mental Health survey
BACKGROUND: Women are more likely than men to use mental healthcare (MHC) due to differences in the types of problems and help-seeking behaviours. The consistency of this relationship across European countries, whose MHC organisation differs substantially, is unknown. METHODS: Lifetime MHC-use and the type of MHC provider were assessed in 37 289 participants from the EU-World Mental Health (EU-WMH) survey, including 10 European countries (Norther…

Utilization of Mental Health Services and Risk of 12-month Problematic Alcohol Use
Childhood Adversity, Early-Onset Depressive/Anxiety Disorders, and Adult-Onset Asthma
OBJECTIVES: To investigate a) whether childhood adversity predicts adult-onset asthma; b) whether early-onset depressive/anxiety disorders predict adult-onset asthma; and c) whether childhood adversity and early-onset depressive/anxiety disorders predict adult-onset asthma independently of each other. Previous research has suggested, but not established, that childhood adversity may predict adult-onset asthma and, moreover, that the association b…
Cross-National Analysis of the Associations among Mental Disorders and Suicidal Behavior
BACKGROUND: Suicide is a leading cause of death worldwide. Mental disorders are among the strongest predictors of suicide; however, little is known about which disorders are uniquely predictive of suicidal behavior, the extent to which disorders predict suicide attempts beyond their association with suicidal thoughts, and whether these associations are similar across developed and developing countries. This study was designed to test each of thes…

Twelve-Month Prevalence of and Risk Factors for Suicide Attempts in the World Health Organization World Mental Health Surveys
OBJECTIVE: Although suicide is a leading cause of death worldwide, clinicians and researchers lack a data-driven method to assess the risk of suicide attempts. This study reports the results of an analysis of a large cross-national epidemiologic survey database that estimates the 12-month prevalence of suicidal behaviors, identifies risk factors for suicide attempts, and combines these factors to create a risk index for 12-month suicide attempts …
Chronic Physical Conditions and Their Association With First Onset of Suicidal Behavior in the World Mental Health Surveys
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of a range of temporally prior physical conditions with the subsequent first onset of suicidal ideation, plans, and attempts in large, general population, cross-national sample. The associations between physical conditions and suicidal behavior remain unclear due to sparse data and varied methodology. METHODS: Predictive associations between 13 temporally prior physical conditions and first onset of suici…
