Abstract in brief

  • Epidemiological studies show that major depression is a common disorder worldwide, with significant variation in lifetime prevalence, age of onset, and chronicity across different countries.
  • Certain sociodemographic factors, such as low education, teenage childbearing, and marital disruptions, are consistently associated with higher risks of depression across cultures.
  • Depression is linked to numerous adverse outcomes, including difficulties in life transitions, reduced functioning, secondary mental health issues, and increased risks of physical health problems and early death.
