Throughout the western world, an increasing demand for psychiatric services is reported. However, a systematic review published in 2008 came to the conclusion that there is no sufficient evidence for increasing mental disorders in the recent decades.
A systematic review on studies with repeating cross-sectional surveys in the general population, published since 2008, was conducted.
33 study results were included into the review. The majority of publications did not report increasing mental health problems in the general population.
The increasing demand for psychiatric services is not associated with increasing mental disorders in the general population.
据报道，在整个西方世界，对精神科服务的需求日益增加。然而，2008年发表的一项系统评价得出结论，近几十年来没有足够证据表明精神障碍有所增加。
对2008年以来发表的关于普通人群重复横断面调查研究的系统评价进行了分析。
该评价纳入了33项研究结果。大多数出版物并未报告普通人群中精神健康问题的增加。
对精神科服务需求的增加与普通人群中精神障碍的增加无关。
