| Popis: | Estimating the prevalence rates of mental disorders is important for developing prevention, treatment, and research plans. Given that survey-based and registry-based prevalence rates of mental disorders each have pros and cons yet complement one another, it is important to consider both assessments when investigating the prevalence rates of mental disorders. However, no study has utilized actual treatment data of patients with mental disorders when investigating the treatment gap. The results of the Survey of Mental Disorders in Korea from 2006, 2011, and 2016 and data from the National Health Insurance Database were used to compare survey-based and registry-based prevalence rates for 17 disorders, as well the prevalence rates for each sex. The survey-based prevalence rate was higher for 10 years in Korea. However, the registry-based prevalence rate continuously increased. By 2016 the two rates were comparable. For alcohol use and nicotine use disorders, the survey-based prevalence rate was consistently higher than the registry-based prevalence rate, while the registry-based prevalence rate was higher for schizophrenia. Mood disorder rates were similar between the two types. Most anxiety disorders had a higher survey-based prevalence rate, except for panic disorder. Men had a higher survey-based prevalence rate, whereas women had a higher registry-based prevalence rate of mental disorders. Korea's registry-based prevalence rate of mental disorders has consistently increased due to various efforts in the field. However, there is still room for improvement, especially in mental health literacy. Therefore, each disorder and patient sex needs to be considered separately when planning education and campaigns. |
