TI  - Depressive disorders in Europe: prevalence figures from the ODIN study.
PG  - 308-16
AB  - BACKGROUND: This is the first report on the epidemiology of depressive disorders 
      from the European Outcome of Depression International Network (ODIN) study. AIMS: 
      To assess the prevalence of depressive disorders in randomly selected samples of 
      the general population in five European countries. METHOD: The study was designed 
      as a cross-sectional two-phase community study using the Beck Depression 
      inventory during Phase 1, and the Schedule for Clinical Assessment in 
      Neuropsychiatry during Phase 2. RESULTS: An analysis of the combined sample 
      (n=8.764) gave an overall prevalence of depressive disorders of 8.56% (95% CI 
      7.05-10.37). The figures were 10.05% (95% CI 7.80-12.85) for women and 6.61% (95% 
      CI 4.92-8.83) for men. The centres fall into three categories: high prevalence 
      (urban Ireland and urban UK), low prevalence (urban Spain) and medium prevalence 
      (the remaining sites). CONCLUSIONS: Depressive disorder is a highly prevalent 
      condition in Europe. The major finding is the wide difference in the prevalence 
      of depressive disorders found across the study sites.
