“…In addition, the response rate was lower among the younger age groups (20- consumption and AUD prevalence in this community (annual sales of alcoholic beverages: Gifu City, 32.0 thousand yen; national average, 36.1 thousand yen; Spearman's r = 0.50, not significant) [7]. Our findings on the association of suicidal ideation with mood and anxiety disorders also agreed with the results of previous studies conducted with similar methodology as that of the WMH survey in Japan [4], China [18], and Ukraine [19]. Although there was an association between suicidal ideation and AUDs in the Sino-Japanese survey [4,18], and with high alcohol consumption in the Ukraine survey [19], results to the contrary were obtained in our study.…”

Although the frequency of aggressive behaviors related to alcoholism might be the same in this area as in other areas, people with AUDs in these communities suggest that they do not experience suicidal ideation because of this wellconstructed social network.…”

Objective The World Mental Health Survey Japan was conducted to address the current status of mental disorders in Japan. Among the various regions covered by the survey were Tendo City and Kaminoyama City in Yamagata Prefecture. The suicide and alcohol consumption rates in Yamagata are higher than the Japanese national average. Many studies have reported that major depressive disorder (MDD), alcohol use disorders (AUDs), and suicidal ideation are related to suicide risk. The prevalence of MDD, AUDs, and suicidal ideation, as well as the association between suicidal ideation and mental disorders must be investigated in order to implement mental health and suicide prevention measures in our community; however, only a few studies have addressed this issue. Methods The survey involved face-to-face interviews. The study population consisted of 1,684 adult residents, of which 770 (mean age 54.0 ± 17.4 years) who completed the interview process. Mental disorders were assessed using the World Mental Health version of the World Health Organization Composite International Diagnostic Interview. Results Among the study population, lifetime prevalence of MDD was 4.4%, which was similar to values reported in previous studies in Japan. Prevalence of AUDs, however, was 10.2%, which was higher those reported previously. We observed a significant association between suicidal ideation and MDD [odds ratio (OR) 7.6], our results showed precisely the opposite association between AUDs and suicidal ideation (OR 0.5, not significant) compared to previous studies. Conclusions Although prevalences of MDD and suicidal ideation were not high, this study revealed a high lifetime prevalence of AUDs and a negative association between suicidal ideation and AUDs.

“…Yet, the observed depression rates were rather inconsistent. For example, the WHO Mental Health Survey data show that the lifetime prevalence of DSM-IV major depressive disorder is 3.5% in two major Chinese cities, Beijing and Shanghai (Lee et al 2007), which is much lower than the 17.1% prevalence in the US (Kessler et al 1994). Other studies also report lower rates of depression in China, compared with the US (Kleinman 1982;Leung et al 1992).…”

An increasing body of literature has suggested that the public portrayal of Chinese Americans as a high-achieving, well-adjusting "model minority" might not reflect the entire reality of their mental health conditions. This study examined depression risks and correlates among different generations of Chinese Americans, using non-Hispanic whites as a comparison group. A nationally representative sample of Chinese Americans (n = 600) from the Comprehensive Psychiatric Epidemiological Survey was used. Results of the study indicate that Chinese Americans in general have a lower risk of depression than non-Hispanic whites. Moreover, the prevalence and correlates of depression do not show a linear trend of difference from first to second to third-or-higher generation Chinese Americans, and then to non-Hispanic whites; rather, the risk of depression and its association with social relational factors presents in distinctive patterns for first and second generation Chinese Americans, compared to third-or-higher generation Chinese Americans and non-Hispanic whites. Specifically, friend network and relative group play different roles in influencing depression for different generations of Chinese Americans. The findings contributed to the growing body of literature on acculturation and mental health among immigrants, shedding lights on the complicated sociocultural contexts that could influence the mental well-being of individuals. Mental health service providers need to be aware of the complex and nuanced association between social relational factors and depression in their prevention, management, and treatment efforts.

“…Similarly, in other developing countries, patients with psychiatric disorders and suicide thoughts were commonly undiagnosed and untreated [7,61] . Recent studies from the WHO [9,10] and China [5,32,62] have shown that psychiatric disorders played an important role in suicidal behaviors. Clearly, diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders should be a part of any suicide prevention plan.…”

Objective: Suicide is a major public health problem in China, particularly in rural areas. This study aimed to examine the rate and the risk factors for suicide in a rural area of China. Methods: The mortality data of two counties in Shandong Province from January 1st, 2004 to December 31st 2005 were used. Death information was collected via face-to-face interview with informant(s). Psychological autopsy was conducted on 137 completed suicides and 137 matched controls died from other illnesses. Chisquare/Fisher exact and multiple logistic regression were used for bivariate analyses and predictor analyses, respectively. Results: The suicide rate was 20.90 per 100,000 persons per year with almost equal rates of males and females. Among those with the age over 40 years old, the suicide rate in males was significantly higher than that in females. The peak of suicide fell in the age group of 70-79 years for males and the age group of ≥ 80 years for females. The most commonly used method for suicide was pesticide ingestion (76.7%). Poor interpersonal relationship (OR=12.79), childhood adversities (OR=7.26), a history of mental illness (OR=5.95), adverse life event(s) within 1 year prior to death (OR=3.19), and unstable extravert personality traits (OR=6.12) were independent risk factors for suicide. Male gender positively interacted with majority of these risk factors, especially with a history of mental illness (OR=17.89). Advanced age positively interacted with all independent risk factors, with a history of mental illness having the largest OR of 1.51 as every 10 year of age advancement. In bivariate analyses, a history of previous suicide attempt (OR=13.06), a family history of suicide (OR=7.08), and unstable introvert personality trait (OR=1.83) were also associated with increased risk for suicide; and stable extravert personality trait (OR=0.21) was associated with decreased risk for suicide. Conclusions: In this rural population of mainland China, the risk for suicide was almost equal in both males and females with the elderly having the highest risk. The positive interactions of advanced age and male gender with independent risk factors suggest that suicide prevention strategies targeting specific groups with different risk factors are essential.
