    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Epidemiology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Standardized psychiatric interviews are increasingly used in general population studies.
    • Previous research has improved understanding of affective disorder prevalence and etiology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the extent of affective disorder in the general population.
    • To identify factors contributing to the etiology of affective disorder.
    • To discuss the scientific status and implications of current findings.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized standardized clinical-type psychiatric interviews.
    • Conducted surveys on the general population.

    Main Results:

    • Identified a significant prevalence of affective disorder, comparable in severity to out-patient clinic cases.
    • Observed higher rates among working-class women in inner-city areas.
    • Found that half of all affective disorder cases are chronic, with few accessing psychiatric services.

    Conclusions:

    • Affective disorders represent a substantial public health concern within the general population.
    • Inner-city working-class women are a particularly vulnerable demographic.
    • There is a significant gap between the prevalence of chronic affective disorders and psychiatric service utilization.
