Background Although the detrimental impact of major depressive disorder (MDD) at the
individual level has been described, its global epidemiology remains unclear given
limitations in the data. Here we present the modelled epidemiological profile of MDD dealing
with heterogeneity in the data, enforcing internal consistency between epidemiological
parameters and making estimates for world regions with no empirical data. These estimates
were used to quantify the burden of MDD for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (GBD�…

AJ Ferrari, AJ Somerville, AJ Baxter…�- Psychological�…, 2013 - cambridge.org
BackgroundSummarizing the epidemiology of major depressive disorder (MDD) at a global
level is complicated by significant heterogeneity in the data. The aim of this study is to
present a global summary of the prevalence and incidence of MDD, accounting for sources
of bias, and dealing with heterogeneity. Findings are informing MDD burden quantification in
the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2010 Study. MethodA systematic review of prevalence
and incidence of MDD was undertaken. Electronic databases Medline, PsycINFO and�…
