Journal ArticleDOI
Lifetime Prevalence and Age-of-Onset Distributions of DSM-IV Disorders in the National Comorbidity Survey Replication
Ronald C. Kessler,Patricia A. Berglund,Olga Demler,Robert Jin,Kathleen R. Merikangas,Ellen E. Walters +5 more
TL;DR: Lifetime prevalence estimates are higher in recent cohorts than in earlier cohorts and have fairly stable intercohort differences across the life course that vary in substantively plausible ways among sociodemographic subgroups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence, Severity, and Comorbidity of 12-Month DSM-IV Disorders in the National Comorbidity Survey Replication
TL;DR: Although mental disorders are widespread, serious cases are concentrated among a relatively small proportion of cases with high comorbidity, as shown in the recently completed US National Comorbidities Survey Replication.
Journal ArticleDOI
The epidemiology of major depressive disorder: results from the National Comorbidity Survey Replication (NCS-R).
Ronald C. Kessler,Patricia A. Berglund,Olga Demler,Robert Jin,Doreen S. Koretz,Kathleen R. Merikangas,A. John Rush,Ellen E. Walters,Philip S. Wang +8 more
TL;DR: Notably, major depressive disorder is a common disorder, widely distributed in the population, and usually associated with substantial symptom severity and role impairment, and while the recent increase in treatment is encouraging, inadequate treatment is a serious concern.
Journal ArticleDOI
Screening for Serious Mental Illness in the General Population
Ronald C. Kessler,Peggy Barker,Lisa J. Colpe,Joan Epstein,Joseph C. Gfroerer,Eva Hiripi,Mary J. Howes,Sharon-Lise T. Normand,Ronald W. Manderscheid,Ellen E. Walters,Alan M. Zaslavsky +10 more
TL;DR: The brevity and accuracy of the K6 and K10 scales make them attractive screens for SMI, and routine inclusion of either scale in clinical studies would create an important, and heretofore missing, crosswalk between community and clinical epidemiology.
Journal ArticleDOI
The prevalence and correlates of adult ADHD in the United States: results from the National Comorbidity Survey Replication.
Ronald C. Kessler,Lenard A. Adler,Russell A. Barkley,Joseph Biederman,C. Keith Conners,M.P.H. Olga Demler,Stephen V. Faraone,Laurence L. Greenhill,Mary J. Howes,Kristina Secnik,Thomas J. Spencer,T. Bedirhan Üstün,Ellen E. Walters,Alan M. Zaslavsky +13 more
TL;DR: Efforts are needed to increase the detection and treatment of adult ADHD and research is needed to determine whether effective treatment would reduce the onset, persistence, and severity of disorders that co-occur with adult ADHD.
