  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychiatric_epidemiology

  Psychiatric epidemiology is a field which studies the causes (etiology) of mental disorders in society, as well as conceptualization and prevalence of mental illness. It is a subfield of the more general epidemiology. […] Today, epidemiological studies focus on the etiology of mental disorders, i.e. the identification and quantification of causes underlying psychiatric problems and their mechanisms, rather than mere estimation of prevalence. […] Many different instruments are used to assess mental disorders in epidemiological studies depending on the age of the participants, available recourses and other considerations. […] A combination of family and molecular studies are used within psychiatric epidemiology to uncover the effects of genetics on mental health. […] Next to genetic exposures, a wide variety of environmental exposures are being studied as well, such as nutrition, urbanicity, stressful life events, and bullying. […] Population-based imaging studies attempt to find neurobiological substrates to explain psychiatric symptomatology.

  Mental and behavioral disorders impose a significant burden on public health, and are among the leading causes of disability worldwide. Faculty in the Program of Psychiatric Epidemiology use the tools of epidemiology and biostatistics to understand the occurrence and distribution of mental and behavioral disorders across people, space and time, and to investigate the causes and consequences of these disorders in order to develop more effective intervention strategies to treat and prevent them and to promote mental health. Faculty are involved in a range of population-based studies of mental and behavioral disorders that span the life course from in utero to the elderly, typically with studies that are prospective and developmentally oriented. […] Psychiatric Epidemiology is fundamental to all of the research in the Department of Mental Health, and faculty in this program area interact with and participate in most if not all the other research areas. In addition, faculty in this area collaborate with investigators from faculty from other departments in the Schools of Public Health, Medicine and Nursing. There is a long history of productive collaboration with faculty from the Department of Biostatistics and the Department of Epidemiology in the School of Public Health and the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences in the School of Medicine. These faculty have joined together to conduct landmark studies in Psychiatric Epidemiology, and this rich tradition continues today.

• #7 Mental Illness Surveillance Among Adults in the United States

  https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/su6003a1.htm

  Mental illnesses account for a larger proportion of disability in developed countries than any other group of illnesses, including cancer and heart disease. In 2004, an estimated 25% of adults in the United States reported having a mental illness in the previous year. The economic cost of mental illness in the United States is substantial, approximately $300 billion in 2002. Population surveys and surveys of health-care use measure the occurrence of mental illness, associated risk behaviors (e.g., alcohol and drug abuse) and chronic conditions, and use of mental health–related care and clinical services. Population-based surveys and surveillance systems provide much of the evidence needed to guide effective mental health promotion, mental illness prevention, and treatment programs. […] This report summarizes data from selected CDC surveillance systems that measure the prevalence and impact of mental illness in the U.S. adult population. CDC surveillance systems provide several types of mental health information: estimates of the prevalence of diagnosed mental illness from self-report or recorded diagnosis, estimates of the prevalence of symptoms associated with mental illness, and estimates of the impact of mental illness on health and well-being. Data from the CDC 2005–2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey indicate that 6.8% of adults had moderate to severe depression in the 2 weeks before completing the survey. State-specific data from the CDC 2006 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), the most recent BRFSS data available, indicate that the prevalence of moderate to severe depression was generally higher in southeastern states compared with other states. Two other CDC surveys on ambulatory care services, the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey and the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, indicate that during 2007–2008, approximately 5% of ambulatory care visits involved patients with a diagnosis of a mental health disorder, and most of these were classified as depression, psychoses, or anxiety disorders.

  Mental illness can have a pervasive and detrimental effect on individuals, their families, and communities. Over recent years, rates of mental illness have been increasing worldwide, with the World Health Organization (WHO) reporting that mental and substance use disorders increased by 13% in 2017 and have increased further since the start of the current pandemic. Mental illness and mental disorders are related to 1 in 5 years being lost to disability worldwide. In India, recently, Sagar et al. (2020) ascertained that one in seven people have a mental disorder. The primary focus of psychiatric epidemiology is the distribution of mental disorders in a population. The value of psychiatric epidemiology to clinical psychiatry chiefly derives from the information provided pertaining to the distribution and frequency of mental disorders that facilitate research on the course, prognosis, clinical manifestation and outcomes of different mental disorders. Further psychiatric epidemiology is necessary for the development of public mental health policy and the provision of mental health services. Thus, the current psychiatric epidemiological data are required to address the population needs and risk factors as well as to facilitate effective treatments, services, and to assess outcomes of the policy developed and the services provided.

  https://www.psychiatryinvestigation.org/m/journal/view.php?number=730

  Psychiatric epidemiology traditionally seems to be insufficient to definite measurement and case definition. Since 1900s, there had been numerable studies on prevalence and incidence of mental disorders according to diagnostic measurements. However, there is no consistent and clear consensus on psychiatric epidemiologic findings. In spite of difficulties in measurement issues, psychiatric epidemiology has advanced from vague case definition by expert’s bias to relatively concise method using scientific technology. […] In the future direction of psychiatric epidemiology, collaborating measurements biological markers with psychosocial factors will make explain the etiological background of mental disorder easier than past years. […] Epidemiology is concerned with understanding and controlling disease epidemics by investigating empirically the associations between variations in exposure to disease-causing agents external to the individual, variation in the resistance resources in the environments of exposed individuals. However, psychiatric epidemiology has traditionally lacked of conceptualizing and measuring mental disorders. As a result, many contemporary psychiatric epidemiology continues to be descriptive, focusing on the estimation of disorder prevalence and subtypes at a time when other branches of epidemiology are making progress in documenting risk factors and developing preventive interventions. […] The most basic requirement of an epidemiologic study is an accurate diagnosis. Relevant information must be integrated from records, reports of significant others, and patient assessment. […] The third hallmark of epidemiology is the use of representative samples. If the function of an epidemiologic study is to determine the frequency of occurrence of an illness, only the use of representative samples allows the establishment of accurate rates.

  In an attempt to measure the prevalence of mental illness in the United States, Lee N. Robins and Darrel A. Regier conducted a study called the Epidemiological Catchment Area Project which surveyed samples of the general population at five sites across America. […] Although this seems a sound estimate, it is clear from the criteria used in the study that at some times the specificity and sensitivity of the selection criteria leaves something to be desired. […] Studies like the ECA do not draw the line between mental illness and normal human stress responses. This creates many problems for those who suffer from both mental illness and those who don’t by decreasing the seeming seriousness of mental conditions and increasing the stigma on those who are suffering a stress response.

  In addition to some of the disparities between Australia and India, the data within countries also noted some inconsistencies. The inconsistencies arise from the different methodologies and instruments used to collect the data, along with differences in categorical definitions and the area of the country sampled, if the data were not national-level data. The field of psychiatric epidemiology has long been constrained by the development of instruments and methodologies to assess mental illness in the population. Historically, Robins (1978) highlighted the need for instruments in psychiatric epidemiology to provide data to inform prevention and intervention into mental illness as well as the development of social policy. More recently, in a historical review of psychiatric epidemiology, Horwitz and Grob (2011) concluded that psychiatric epidemiology requires the development of adequate methods to measure mental illness at the community level.

  Globally, there is a need to address shortcomings in the area of psychiatric epidemiology. The issues pertaining to measures and methodologies used in psychiatric epidemiology are not exclusive to one country. Further, these differences can also make comparisons within a country as well as beyond challenging. However, if the data from different methodologies and measures are comparable or reached triangulation as suggested by Ohlsson and Kendler (2020), the findings can be considered more reliable. There is an imperative that the values that underlie the research are explicit. Further, there is a need to specify the end-user of the knowledge to be generated by research to meet the needs of a range of stakeholders within the field of psychiatric epidemiology as well as outside the field of psychiatric epidemiology. This will facilitate furthering the field of psychiatric epidemiology as well as shifting the trajectory toward a more pragmatic evidenced-based psychiatric epidemiology as called for by McGrath et al. (2018).

Public health officials, academicians, health-care providers, and advocacy groups need accurate and timely information on the prevalence and effects of mental illness to detect and characterize trends in mental illness prevalence and severity; assess associations between mental illness and other chronic medical conditions; identify populations at high risk for mental illness and target interventions, treatment, and prevention measures; and provide outcome measures for evaluating mental illness interventions.

  CDC national surveillance surveys such as NHANES and NHIS are important for developing national policies and tracking progress toward national health goals. Data from these surveys are useful for national planning and research. […] The prevalence of current depression varies substantially by state, as does the prevalence of serious psychological distress. These variations might reflect regional differences, including demographic characteristics, socioeconomic conditions, availability of and access to health-care services, and patterns of reimbursement for mental health services, that would be useful in planning. […] Although CDC surveys and information systems have provided important information on the prevalence of mental illness, none of them was designed solely to monitor mental illness. They are general surveillance tools that have added components on mental illness gradually over time as recognition of the importance of mental illness in public health has increased.

  https://namiwc.org/2022/12/05/an-introduction-to-psychiatric-epidemiology/

  Psychiatric epidemiology is different from the fields of psychiatry and psychology in a few important ways. […] Psychiatric epidemiologists are interested in understanding how mental disorders are distributed across populations, how these distributions change over time and across geographical regions, and the reasons behind these distributions; psychiatric epidemiologists use this information to develop or improve upon existing efforts to treat and prevent mental disorders. […] Studies that examine trends and patterns in mental disorders across populations and regions and over time allow researchers to understand what types of treatment or prevention efforts could be implemented in certain settings like schools or community mental health centers. […] Psychiatric epidemiology can also inform the creation of policies and programs that support mental health on a local, state, or national scale. […] Even daily feelings of stress and anxiety are of interest to psychiatric epidemiologists, who wish to understand mental disorders to improve mental health outcomes on a large scale.

  In broader concept, epidemiological studies must be linked and influenced by social and health policy within its society. […] Thus, mental health policy is increasingly recognized as meriting a long overdue attention in many countries, partly because of the realization of the economic and social burden of mental disorder for countries. […] Epidemiological methods are particularly helpful in confusing cause-effect association between mental disorders and biological, environmental, and psychosocial risk factors. […] In recent days, a new trend has been appeared like special applications of epidemiologic method: clinical epidemiology. […] Despite encouraging advances, much work still needs to be conducted before psychiatric epidemiology can realize its potential to improve the mental health of populations. […] The current, 'fourth generation’ of psychiatric epidemiological research is characterized by a strong emphasis on the search for specific risk factors, both biological and psychosocial.

  The CIHR Team in Social and Psychiatric Epidemiology was established in 2006 through a grant from CIHR to develop the first Epidemiological Catchment Area in Canada (ECA). These longitudinal studies have established in the 1980s the modern methods of psychiatric epidemiology in enabling a detailed picture of the prevalence of mental disorders in a general population according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III, III- R. IV, IV-TR, and V). These new population data have permitted to quantify the prevalence of mental disorders, related disabilities and adequacy of the provision of mental health services to guide national and international mental health policy. […] The Social and Psychiatric Epidemiology Catchment Area of the South West of Montreal (ZEPSOM) is the only ECA in Canada and one of the few in the world.
