National Trends in the Prevalence and Treatment of Depression in Adolescents and Young Adults

Abstract: RESULTS:The 12-month prevalence of MDEs increased from 8.7% in 2005 to 11.3% in 2014 in adolescents and from 8.8% to 9.6% in young adults (both P < .001). The increase was larger and statistically significant only in the age range of 12 to 20 years. The trends remained significant after adjustment for substance use disorders and sociodemographic factors. Mental health care contacts overall did not change over time; however, the use of specialty mental health providers increased in adolescents and young adults,… Show more

“…A paediatric-adult model for mental healthcare is not only developmentally inappropriate but creates a dangerous discontinuity of service at the epicentre of greatest need. Increasing rates of psychopathology occur from puberty through the emerging adult period,3 consistent with the Universities UK report cited by Gunnell and colleagues. From developmental, biological, and socioeconomic perspectives, “adolescence” limits our understanding of current generations of young people with the transition to independent adulthood now continuing until the mid to late 20s 45…”

“…The result: An almost epidemic increase in depression and anxiety among this age cohort. In the US the 12-month prevalence of major depressive episodes (MDE) in adolescents rose from 8.7% in 2005 to 11.3% in 2014 (Mojtabai, Olfson, & Han, 2016). According to the US National Institute of Mental Health, the overall 12-month MDE prevalence for 2015 was even higher at12.5% (19.5 and 5.8% for girls and boys, respectively).…”

“…We are facing a dramatic surge in malnutrition such as obesity [17], and in health issues related to air pollution especially in major cities [18]. An increase in the rate of diagnosed depression, especially amongst adolescents and young adults [19] has also been observed. As a positive example, progress in detecting and curing cancers (even as the number of cases increases due to overall longevity) is a demonstration of the beneficial impact of science [20].…”
