    Prevalence and Correlates of Bipolar Spectrum Disorder in the World Mental Health Survey Initiative
    (2011) MERIKANGAS, Kathleen R.; JIN, Robert; HE, Jian-Ping; KESSLER, Ronald C.; LEE, Sing; SAMPSON, Nancy A.; VIANA, Maria Carmen; ANDRADE, Laura Helena; HU, Chiyi; KARAM, Elie G.; LADEA, Maria; MEDINA-MORA, Maria Elena; ONO, Yutaka; POSADA-VILLA, Jose; SAGAR, Rajesh; WELLS, J. Elisabeth; ZARKOV, Zahari
    Context: There is limited information on the prevalence and correlates of bipolar spectrum disorder in international population-based studies using common methods. Objectives: To describe the prevalence, impact, patterns of comorbidity, and patterns of service utilization for bipolar spectrum disorder (BPS) in the World Health Organization World Mental Health Survey Initiative. Design, Setting, and Participants: Crosssectional, face-to-face, household surveys of 61 392 community adults in 11 countries in the Americas, Europe, and Asia assessed with the World Mental Health version of the World Health Organization Composite International Diagnostic Interview, version 3.0, a fully structured, lay-administered psychiatric diagnostic interview. Main Outcome Measures: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fourth Edition) disorders, severity, and treatment. Results: The aggregate lifetime prevalences were 0.6% for bipolar type I disorder (BP-I), 0.4% for BP-II, 1.4% for subthreshold BP, and 2.4% for BPS. Twelve-month prevalences were 0.4% for BP-I, 0.3% for BP-II, 0.8% for subthreshold BP, and 1.5% for BPS. Severity of both manic and depressive symptoms as well as suicidal behavior increased monotonically from subthreshold BP to BP-I. By contrast, role impairment was similar across BP subtypes. Symptom severity was greater for depressive episodes than manic episodes, with approximately 74.0% of respondents with depression and 50.9% of respondents with mania reporting severe role impairment. Three-quarters of those with BPS met criteria for at least 1 other disorder, with anxiety disorders (particularly panic attacks) being the most common comorbid condition. Less than half of those with lifetime BPS received mental health treatment, particularly in low-income countries, where only 25.2% reported contact with the mental health system. Conclusions: Despite cross-site variation in the prevalence rates of BPS, the severity, impact, and patterns of comorbidity were remarkably similar internationally. The uniform increases in clinical correlates, suicidal behavior, and comorbidity across each diagnostic category provide evidence for the validity of the concept of BPS. Treatment needs for BPS are often unmet, particularly in low-income countries.

    Dual burden of chronic physical diseases and anxiety/mood disorders among Sao Paulo Megacity Mental Health Survey Sample, Brazil
    (2017) ASKARI, Melanie S.; ANDRADE, Laura Helena; FILHO, Alexandre Chiavegatto; SILVEIRA, Camila Magalhaes; SIU, Erica; WANG, Yuan-Pang; VIANA, Maria Carmen; MARTINS, Silvia S.
    Background: We assessed comorbid associations of 12-month DSM-IV mood/any anxiety disorders with chronic physical conditions within the Sao Paulo (SP) Megacity Mental Health cross-sectional survey of 5037 participants and explored whether strength of comorbid associations were modified when controlling for demographics. Methods: Chi-square tests and logistic regressions were used to examine comorbid associations of DSM-IV mood/anxiety disorders as measured by the WHO Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI 3.0), and self-reported chronic physical conditions among adults from the SP Megacity Mental Health Survey. Results: Among those with any mood or anxiety disorder, chronic pain disorder was the most common physical condition (48.9% and 44.9%, respectively). Significant unadjusted odds ratios (OR) of comorbidity were found between diagnosis of two or more physical conditions and any mood disorders (3.08, 95% CI: 2.27-4.17), and any anxiety disorders (2.49, 95% CI: 1.95-3.17). Comorbidities remained significant when stratified by gender and controlling for marital status, household income, and education (latter two only included within anxiety models). Limitations: These results cannot be generalized to other cities or rural populations. Homeless and institutionalized populations were not surveyed. Due to cross-sectional study design, the direction of association between chronic disease/chronic disease risk factors and mood disorders is unclear. Conclusions: Dual burden of chronic physical conditions and mood/anxiety disorders is a notable problem among the Sao Paulo Megacity Survey population, with enhanced comorbidity experienced by community members with multiple physical conditions. Clinicians should consider these findings in understanding healthcare delivery for individuals suffering from both psychiatric disorders and chronic physical conditions.

    Somatization in Latin America: a review on the classification of somatoform disorders, functional syndromes, and medically unexplained symptoms
    (2011) TOFOLI, Luis Fernando; ANDRADE, Laura Helena; FORTES, Sandra
    Objective: medically unexplained symptoms are common and associated with mental illness in various contexts. Previous studies show that Latin American populations are prone to somatization. Given the reformulation of the International Classification of Diseases towards its 11(th) edition the peculiarities of the population from this region of the world shall be taken into consideration. The objective of this study is to provide information on somatization in Latin American populations to help the decision making about medically unexplained symptoms diagnostic categories in the 11(th) edition of the International Classification of Diseases. Method: Extensive review of the academic production from 1995 to 2011 on somatization in populations of Latin American origin. Results: The analysis of 106 studies included in this review was divided into 15 categories: systematic reviews, conceptual reviews, prevalence, primary care, depression and anxiety, risk factors, violence, organic conditions, relationship with health care, ethnicity, culture-bound syndromes, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, body dysmorphic disorder, and conversion and dissociation. Conclusion: The Latin American studies confirm the difficulty in defining medically unexplained symptoms categories. The supposed ""somatizing trace"" of Latin cultures may be linked more to cultural and linguistic expression than to an ethnic nature, and these peculiarities must be on the agenda for the new classification of these phenomena in the Classification of Diseases-11th edition.

    Drinking Patterns and Alcohol Use Disorders in Sao Paulo, Brazil: The Role of Neighborhood Social Deprivation and Socioeconomic Status
    (2014) SILVEIRA, Camila Magalhaes; SIU, Erica Rosanna; ANTHONY, James C.; SAITO, Luis Paulo; ANDRADE, Arthur Guerra de; KUTSCHENKO, Andressa; VIANA, Maria Carmen; WANG, Yuan-Pang; MARTINS, Silvia S.; ANDRADE, Laura Helena
    Background: Research conducted in high-income countries has investigated influences of socioeconomic inequalities on drinking outcomes such as alcohol use disorders (AUD), however, associations between area-level neighborhood social deprivation (NSD) and individual socioeconomic status with these outcomes have not been explored in Brazil. Thus, we investigated the role of these factors on drink-related outcomes in a Brazilian population, attending to male-female variations. Methods: A multi-stage area probability sample of adult household residents in the Sao Paulo Metropolitan Area was assessed using the WHO Composite International Diagnostic Interview (WMH-CIDI) (n = 5,037). Estimation focused on prevalence and correlates of past-year alcohol disturbances [heavy drinking of lower frequency (HDLF), heavy drinking of higher frequency (HDHF), abuse, dependence, and DMS-5 AUD] among regular users (RU); odds ratio (OR) were obtained. Results: Higher NSD, measured as an area-level variable with individual level variables held constant, showed an excess odds for most alcohol disturbances analyzed. Prevalence estimates for HDLF and HDHF among RU were 9% and 20%, respectively, with excess odds in higher NSD areas; schooling (inverse association) and low income were associated with male HDLF. The only individual-level association with female HDLF involved employment status. Prevalence estimates for abuse, dependence, and DSM-5 AUD among RU were 8%, 4%, and 8%, respectively, with excess odds of: dependence in higher NSD areas for males; abuse and AUD for females. Among RU, AUD was associated with unemployment, and low education with dependence and AUD. Conclusions: Regular alcohol users with alcohol-related disturbances are more likely to be found where area-level neighborhood characteristics reflect social disadvantage. Although we cannot draw inferences about causal influence, the associations are strong enough to warrant future longitudinal alcohol studies to explore causal mechanisms related to the heterogeneous patterns of association and male-female variations observed herein. Hopefully, these findings may help guide future directions for public health.

    Individual and population level estimates of work loss and related economic costs due to mental and substance use disorders in Metropolitan Sao Paulo, Brazil
    (2022) FRANCA, Mariane Henriques; PEREIRA, Flavia Garcia; WANG, Yuan-Pang; ANDRADE, Laura Helena; ALONSO, Jordi; VIANA, Maria Carmen
    Background: We estimate work loss and economic costs due to mental and substance use disorders in the economically active population of the Sao Paulo Metropolitan Area, Brazil. Methods: The Sao Paulo Megacity Mental Health Survey assessed a population-based sample of 3,007 economically active residents using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview 3.0 and the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2 to investigate, respectively, 12-month psychiatric disorders, work performance, and economic costs. Results: Absenteeism over the past 12 months was reported by 12.6%, and presenteeism by 14.7% (qualitative loss) and 13.1% (quantitative loss). Having any mental disorder was associated with 17.6 days of absenteeism and 37.7 days of reduced-qualitative and/or quantitative functioning. Fourteen mental disorders were significantly associated with work loss, with odds ratios ranging from 2.3 for adult separation anxiety to 40.4 for oppositional defiant disorder. At a population-level, oppositional defiant disorder, panic disorder, attention deficit disorder, and dysthymia contributed to the largest costs. The total annual economic costs were USD $83.2 billion/year, representing 6.1% of Brazil's Gross Domestic Product in 2007. Limitations: Diagnosis of mental disorders was based on self-reported symptoms. Work loss assessment was restricted to 30 days before the interview and may not fully represents the annual real experience and symptoms of the respondents which would lead to an overestimation of the burden. Conclusions: Mental disorders impose a great negative impact on work performance and functioning, with a consequent high economic burden, pointing to the need of implementing cost-effective interventions to prevent work loss.

    Gender differences in drinking patterns and alcohol-related problems in a community sample in Sao Paulo, Brazil
    (2012) SILVEIRA, Camila Magalhaes; SIU, Erica Rosanna; WANG, Yuan-Pang; VIANA, Maria Carmen; ANDRADE, Arthur Guerra de; ANDRADE, Laura Helena
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate drinking patterns and gender differences in alcohol-related problems in a Brazilian population, with an emphasis on the frequency of heavy drinking. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a probability adult household sample (n = 1,464) in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Alcohol intake and ICD-10 psychopathology diagnoses were assessed with the Composite International Diagnostic Interview 1.1. The analyses focused on the prevalence and determinants of 12-month non-heavy drinking, heavy episodic drinking (4-5 drinks per occasion), and heavy and frequent drinking (heavy drinking at least 3 times/week), as well as associated alcohol-related problems according to drinking patterns and gender. RESULTS: Nearly 22% (32.4% women, 8.7% men) of the subjects were lifetime abstainers, 60.3% were non-heavy drinkers, and 17.5% reported heavy drinking in a 12-month period (26.3% men, 10.9% women). Subjects with the highest frequency of heavy drinking reported the most problems. Among subjects who did not engage in heavy drinking, men reported more problems than did women. A gender convergence in the amount of problems was observed when considering heavy drinking patterns. Heavy and frequent drinkers were twice as likely as abstainers to present lifetime depressive disorders. Lifetime nicotine dependence was associated with all drinking patterns. Heavy and frequent drinking was not restricted to young ages. CONCLUSIONS: Heavy and frequent episodic drinking was strongly associated with problems in a community sample from the largest city in Latin America. Prevention policies should target this drinking pattern, independent of age or gender. These findings warrant continued research on risky drinking behavior, particularly among persistent heavy drinkers at the non-dependent level.

    Childhood generalized specific phobia as an early marker of internalizing psychopathology across the lifespan: results from the World Mental Health Surveys
    (2019) VRIES, Ymkje Anna de; AL-HAMZAWI, Ali; ALONSO, Jordi; BORGES, Guilherme; BRUFFAERTS, Ronny; BUNTING, Brendan; CALDAS-DE-ALMEIDA, Jose Miguel; CIA, Alfredo H.; GIROLAMO, Giovanni De; V, Rumyana Dinolova; ESAN, Oluyomi; FLORESCU, Silvia; GUREJE, Oye; HARO, Josep Maria; HU, Chiyi; KARAM, Elie G.; KARAM, Aimee; KAWAKAMI, Norito; KIEJNA, Andrzej; KOVESS-MASFETY, Viviane; LEE, Sing; MNEIMNEH, Zeina; NAVARRO-MATEU, Fernando; PIAZZA, Marina; SCOTT, Kate; HAVE, Margreet ten; TORRES, Yolanda; VIANA, Maria Carmen; KESSLER, Ronald C.; JONGE, Peter de; AGUILAR-GAXIOLA, Sergio; AL-KAISY, Mohammed Salih; ANDRADE, Laura Helena; BENJET, Corina; BROMET, Evelyn J.; ALMEIDA, Jose Miguel Caldas de; CARDOSO, Graca; CHATTERJI, Somnath; DEGENHARDT, Louisa; DEMYTTENAERE, Koen; GIROLAMO, Giovanni de; HINKOV, Hristo; HU, Chi-yi; KARAM, Aimee Nasser; LEPINE, Jean-Pierre; LEVINSON, Daphna; MCGRATH, John; MEDINA-MORA, Maria Elena; MOSKALEWICZ, Jacek; PENNELL, Beth-Ellen; POSADA-VILLA, Jose; SCOTT, Kate M.; SLADE, Tim; STAGNARO, Juan Carlos; STEIN, Dan J.; WHITEFORD, Harvey; WILLIAMS, David R.; WOJTYNIAK, Bogdan
    BackgroundSpecific phobia (SP) is a relatively common disorder associated with high levels of psychiatric comorbidity. Because of its early onset, SP may be a useful early marker of internalizing psychopathology, especially if generalized to multiple situations. This study aimed to evaluate the association of childhood generalized SP with comorbid internalizing disorders.MethodsWe conducted retrospective analyses of the cross-sectional population-based World Mental Health Surveys using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview. Outcomes were lifetime prevalence, age of onset, and persistence of internalizing disorders; past-month disability; lifetime suicidality; and 12-month serious mental illness. Logistic and linear regressions were used to assess the association of these outcomes with the number of subtypes of childhood-onset (<13years) SP.ResultsAmong 123,628 respondents from 25 countries, retrospectively reported prevalence of childhood SP was 5.9%, 56% of whom reported one, 25% two, 10% three, and 8% four or more subtypes. Lifetime prevalence of internalizing disorders increased from 18.2% among those without childhood SP to 46.3% among those with one and 75.6% those with 4+ subtypes (OR=2.4, 95% CI 2.3-2.5, p<0.001). Twelve-month persistence of lifetime internalizing comorbidity at interview increased from 47.9% among those without childhood SP to 59.0% and 79.1% among those with 1 and 4+ subtypes (OR=1.4, 95% CI 1.4-1.5, p<0.001). Respondents with 4+ subtypes also reported significantly more disability (3.5days out of role in the past month) than those without childhood SP (1.1days) or with only 1 subtype (1.8days) (B=0.56, SE 0.06, p<0.001) and a much higher rate of lifetime suicide attempts (16.8%) than those without childhood SP (2.0%) or with only 1 subtype (6.5%) (OR=1.7, 95% CI 1.7-1.8, p<0.001).ConclusionsThis large international study shows that childhood-onset generalized SP is related to adverse outcomes in the internalizing domain throughout the life course. Comorbidity, persistence, and severity of internalizing disorders all increased with the number of childhood SP subtypes. Although our study cannot establish whether SP is causally associated with these poor outcomes or whether other factors, such as a shared underlying vulnerability, explain the association, our findings clearly show that childhood generalized SP identifies an important target group for early intervention.

    Response pattern of depressive symptoms among college students: What lies behind items of the Beck Depression Inventory-II ?
    (2018) SA JUNIOR, Antonio Reis de; ANDRADE, Arthur Guerra de; ANDRADE, Laura Helena; GORENSTEIN, Clarice; WANG, Yuan-Pang
    Background: This study examines the response pattern of depressive symptoms in a nationwide student sample, through item analyses of a rating scale by both classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT). Methods: The 21-item Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) was administered to 12,711 college students. First, the psychometric properties of the scale were described. Thereafter, the endorsement probability of depressive symptom in each scale item was analyzed through CTT and IRT. Graphical plots depicted the endorsement probability of scale items and intensity of depression. Three items of different difficulty level were compared through CTT and IRT approach. Results: Four in five students reported the presence of depressive symptoms. The BDI-II items presented good reliability and were distributed along the symptomatic continuum of depression. Similarly, in both CTT and IRT approaches, the item 'changes in sleep' was easily endorsed, 'loss of interest' moderately and 'suicidal thoughts' hardly. Graphical representation of BDI-II of both methods showed much equivalence in terms of item discrimination and item difficulty. The item characteristic curve of the IRT method provided informative evaluation of item performance. Limitation: The inventory was applied only in college students. Conclusion: Depressive symptoms were frequent psychopathological manifestations among college students. The performance of the BDI-II items indicated convergent results from both methods of analysis. While the CTT was easy to understand and to apply, the IRT was more complex to understand and to implement. Comprehensive assessment of the functioning of each BDI-II item might be helpful in efficient detection of depressive conditions in college students.

    Disability Mediates the Impact of Common Conditions on Perceived Health
    (2013) ALONSO, Jordi; VILAGUT, Gemma; ADROHER, Nuria D.; CHATTERJI, Somnath; HE, Yanling; ANDRADE, Laura Helena; BROMET, Evelyn; BRUFFAERTS, Ronny; FAYYAD, John; FLORESCU, Silvia; GIROLAMO, Giovanni de; GUREJE, Oye; HARO, Josep Maria; HINKOV, Hristo; HU, Chiyi; IWATA, Noboru; LEE, Sing; LEVINSON, Daphna; LEPINE, Jean Pierre; MATSCHINGER, Herbert; MEDINA-MORA, Maria Elena; O'NEILL, Siobhan; HORMEL, J.; POSADA-VILLA, Jose A.; TAIB, Nezar Ismet; XAVIER, Miguel; KESSLER, Ronald C.
    Background: We examined the extent to which disability mediates the observed associations of common mental and physical conditions with perceived health. Methods and Findings: WHO World Mental Health (WMH) Surveys carried out in 22 countries worldwide (n = 51,344 respondents, 72.0% response rate). We assessed nine common mental conditions with the WHO Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI), and ten chronic physical with a checklist. A visual analog scale (VAS) score (0, worst to 100, best) measured perceived health in the previous 30 days. Disability was assessed using a modified WHO Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS), including: cognition, mobility, self-care, getting along, role functioning (life activities), family burden, stigma, and discrimination. Path analysis was used to estimate total effects of conditions on perceived health VAS and their separate direct and indirect (through the WHODAS dimensions) effects. Twelve-month prevalence was 14.4% for any mental and 51.4% for any physical condition. 31.7% of respondents reported difficulties in role functioning, 11.4% in mobility, 8.3% in stigma, 8.1% in family burden and 6.9% in cognition. Other difficulties were much less common. Mean VAS score was 81.0 (SD = 0.1). Decrements in VAS scores were highest for neurological conditions (9.8), depression (8.2) and bipolar disorder (8.1). Across conditions, 36.8% (IQR: 31.2-51.5%) of the total decrement in perceived health associated with the condition were mediated by WHODAS disabilities (significant for 17 of 19 conditions). Role functioning was the dominant mediator for both mental and physical conditions. Stigma and family burden were also important mediators for mental conditions, and mobility for physical conditions. Conclusions: More than a third of the decrement in perceived health associated with common conditions is mediated by disability. Although the decrement is similar for physical and mental conditions, the pattern of mediation is different. Research is needed on the benefits for perceived health of targeted interventions aimed at particular disability dimensions.

    Use of psychotropic medications in Sao Paulo Metropolitan Area, Brazil: pattern of healthcare provision to general population
    (2015) CAMPANHA, Angela Maria; SIU, Erica Rosanna; MILHORANCA, Igor Andre; VIANA, Maria Carmen; WANG, Yuan-Pang; ANDRADE, Laura Helena
    Purpose We estimate the proportion of psychotropic medication use (PMU) among adults in Sao Paulo Metropolitan Area, Brazil. We investigated whether socio-demographic factors, comorbidity, and disease severity influence PMU among individuals with psychiatric disorders. Methods Data are from the Sao Paulo Megacity Mental Health Survey, a cross-sectional, population-based study, the Brazilian branch of the World Mental Health Survey Initiative. Trained lay interviewers face-to-face assessed psychiatric disorders and PMU through the Composite International Diagnostic Interview. Respondents were asked about use of healthcare service and prescribed medications for mental disorders in the previous year. Information on PMU was collected for 2935 adult residents in the area and among those with disorders who received treatment. Results Around 6% of respondents reported PMU in the past year: hypnotics or sedatives were used by 3.7% and antidepressants by 3.5%. Among individuals with 12-month disorders, only 14% reported past year PMU. Gender, age, education, income, occupational status, comorbidity, and severity were significant predictors for PMU. Among those with 12-month DSM-IV disorders who obtained treatment in healthcare settings, almost 40% received medication only. Among those treated in specialty mental health service, around 23% received combination of medication and psychotherapy. Conclusion Our study has pointed out that the recent trend of access to mental healthcare in Brazil depicts unmet needs, characterized by a low prevalence of PMU among individuals with psychiatric disorders. Policies that improve appropriate access to prescribed drugs for those most in need are urgent public health priority.
