Epidemiology of DSM-III-R Major Depression and Minor Depression Among Adolescents and Young Adults in the National Comorbidity Survey
TL;DR: Number of prior disorders was more important than type of disorders in predicting subsequent depression, raising the possibility that secondary depression is a nonspecific severity marker for earlier disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ronald C. Kessler,Patricia A. Berglund,Wai Tat Chiu,Olga Demler,Steven G. Heeringa,Eva Hiripi,Robert Jin,Beth-Ellen Pennell,Ellen E. Walters,Alan M. Zaslavsky,Hui Zheng +10 more
TL;DR: The main features of the NCS‐R design and field procedures are described, including information on fieldwork organization and procedures, sample design, weighting and considerations in the use of design‐based versus model‐based estimation.
Journal Article

Ronald C. Kessler,Patricia A. Berglund,Martha L. Bruce,J R Koch,Eugene M. Laska,P J Leaf,R W Manderscheid,R A Rosenheck,Ellen E. Walters,Philip S. Wang +9 more

Ronald C. Kessler,Roger B. Davis,David F. Foster,Maria I. Van Rompay,Ellen E. Walters,Sonja A. Wilkey,Ted J. Kaptchuk,David Eisenberg +7 more
TL;DR: In the absence of prospective data, which do not exist, the results represent, to the knowledge, the most accurate information currently available on U.S. trends in CAM therapy use over the past half-century.
Journal ArticleDOI
The structure of the genetic and environmental risk factors for six major psychiatric disorders in women. Phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, bulimia, major depression, and alcoholism.
Kenneth S. Kendler,Ellen E. Walters,Michael C. Neale,Ronald C. Kessler,Andrew C. Heath,Lindon J. Eaves +5 more
TL;DR: These results support the following hypotheses: each major risk factor domain influences comorbidity between these disorders in a distinct manner, and most of the genetic factors that influence vulnerability to alcoholism in women do not alter the risk for development of other common psychiatric disorders.
