4.Clinical-epidemiological study for depressive disorders in some general populations
Journal of Practical Medicine 2000;392(12):42-44
The study aimed to determine clinical and epidemiological parameters of depressive disorders in 1 rural commune, 1 urban commune and some populations (remote regional students, minor ethnic boarders, single old people, burn sequelae sufferers and people with gastroduodenal ulcer). The results showed that the pilot incidence of depression is 8.35% out of 15 years of age population in a rural commune and 4.2% in an urban commune. The pilot incidence of major depression in population-based samples is 5-9% for female and 2-3% for male. In sample of remote regional students aged 20 - 28 years of old, the incidence is similar with that in general population. In sample of minor ethnic boarders aged 14 - 19 years of old, the incidence is 23.33%. The incidence is 57.14% in the single old people, 69.7% in the burn sequelae sufferers and 93.3% in the people with gastroduodenal ulcer. 100% of patients have need of care but has been never diagnosed and treated. Manifestations of severe depression, bipolar disorder and postpartum depression are rare. Symptoms of weakness and fatigue have higher rate than typical symptoms of depression
