Statistics by Country for Mental illness
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Mental illness:
These statistics are calculated extrapolations of various prevalence or incidence rates
against the populations of a particular country or region.
The statistics used for prevalence/incidence of Mental illness are typically based on US, UK, Canadian or Australian statistics.
This extrapolation calculation is automated and does not take into account any genetic, cultural, environmental, social, racial or other differences
across the various countries and regions for which the extrapolated Mental illness statistics below refer to.
As such, these extrapolations may be highly inaccurate (especially for developing or third-world countries) and only give a general indication (or even a meaningless indication)
as to the actual prevalence or incidence of Mental illness in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Mental illness: The word 'prevalence' of Mental illness usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Mental illness at any given time (i.e. people with Mental illness). The term 'incidence' of Mental illness means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Mental illness diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Mental illness). Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics. |
Incidence (annual) of Mental illness: about 22.1 percent of American adults annually or 44.3 million people (NIMH)
Incidence Rate for Mental illness: approx 1 in 4 or 22.10% or 60.1 million people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Mental illness to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above incidence rate for Mental illness to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Mental illness are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual incidence of Mental illness in any region:
