Mood disorders are common mental illness in China, but little was known about mental disability caused by mood disorders. In this study, we aimed to describe the prevalence rate of mental disability caused by mood disorders, and resulting impairment on physical and social functions.
Data were derived from the 2006 second China National Survey on Disability (CNSD), and identification of mental disability caused by mood disorders were based on consensus manuals.
The prevalence rate of mental disability caused by mood disorders in China was 0.366‰ (95% CI=0.334-0.398). Prevalence rate of mental disability caused by mood disorders was higher among female, elderly people, illiterate population, people currently not married, and people with an annual family income equal or lower than national average. People with mental disability caused by mood disorders were less likely to have severe or extreme difficulty in all 6 aspects of functions.
This study revealed a lower prevalence rate of mental disability caused by mood disorders. The findings indicate that more studies are needed to obtain a precise overview of mood disorders in China, and intervention programs aimed at early identification and treatment for mood disorders should be developed.
心境障碍是中国常见的精神疾病，但对心境障碍导致的精神残疾知之甚少。本研究旨在描述心境障碍导致的精神残疾的流行率，以及对身体和社会功能的损害。
数据来自 2006 年第二次中国全国残疾人抽样调查（CNSD），心境障碍导致的精神残疾的鉴定依据共识手册。
中国心境障碍导致的精神残疾的流行率为 0.366‰（95%CI=0.334-0.398）。心境障碍导致的精神残疾的流行率在女性、老年人、文盲人口、目前未婚者和家庭年收入等于或低于全国平均水平的人群中较高。心境障碍导致的精神残疾患者在所有 6 个功能方面严重或极度困难的可能性较小。
本研究揭示了心境障碍导致的精神残疾的流行率较低。研究结果表明，需要更多的研究来获得中国心境障碍的更准确全貌，并应制定旨在早期识别和治疗心境障碍的干预计划。
