Abstract

Objective: The aim of the present study was to report the prevalence and patterns of 12 month comorbidity in the 2007 National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing (2007 NSMHWB). In this paper the comorbidity between common mental disorders (affective, substance use and anxiety) and between physical and mental disorders is examined. Method: The 2007 NSMHWB was a nationally representative household survey of 8841 Australian adults (16–85 years) that assessed participants for symptoms of the most prevalent ICD-10 mental disorders. Results: The common mental disorder classes (affective, anxiety and substance use disorders) often occur together and 25.4% of persons with an anxiety, affective or substance use disorder had at least one other class of mental disorder. A small proportion (3.5%, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.3–4.7%) had all three classes of disorder. Mental disorder and physical disorder comorbidity was also common, with 28% (95%CI = 25.1–30.9%) of those with a chronic physical disorder also having a mental disorder. Comorbidity was associated with greater severity and greater health service use. Conclusions: Comorbidity is widespread and remains a significant challenge for the delivery of effective health-care services and treatment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
