Prevalence of Depression in the Community from 30 Countries between 1994 and 2014

Abstract The prevalence of depression may be affected by changes in psychiatric practices and the availability of online mental health information in the past two decades. This study aimed to evaluate the aggregate prevalence of depression in communities from different countries between 1994 and 201...
