Major depression is a common and treatable mental disorder characterized by changes in mood, and cognitive and physical symptoms over a 2-week period (1). It is associated with high societal costs (2) and greater functional impairment than many other chronic diseases, including diabetes and arthritis (3). Depression rates differ by age, sex, income, and health behaviors (4). This report provides the most recent national estimates of depression among adults. Prevalence of depression is based on scores from the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), a symptom-screening questionnaire that allows for criteria-based diagnoses of depressive disorders (5). Estimates for non-Hispanic Asian persons are presented for the first time.
重度抑郁症是一种常见且可治疗的精神障碍，其特征是在两周时间内出现情绪、认知和身体症状的变化（1）。它与高昂的社会成本相关（2），并且比许多其他慢性疾病（包括糖尿病和关节炎）导致更严重的功能损害（3）。抑郁症发病率因年龄、性别、收入和健康行为而异（4）。本报告提供了成年人抑郁症的最新全国估计数据。抑郁症患病率基于患者健康问卷（PHQ - 9）的得分，这是一种症状筛查问卷，可用于基于标准诊断抑郁症（5）。首次给出了非西班牙裔亚洲人的估计数据。
