Abstract

Mood disorders are one of the most commonly seen psychiatric disorders, occurring in about 20.8% of the general population (lifetime prevalence rate) (Kessler, Berglund, Demler, Jin, & Walters, 2005). They are found amongst adult, child, and older adult populations and cut across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. Mood disorders are costly not only to the individual, in terms of emotional suffering and physical distress, but also to families (e.g., disrupted household routine and economic burden) and to our society. In fact, mood disorders are responsible for significant burden in the United States due to loss of productivity, employee absenteeism/lost wages, and suicide (Greenberg, Stiglin, Finkelstein, & Berndt, 1993). In 2000, costs were identified as reaching estimates of 51.5 billion in productivity losses, and 26.1 billion in treatment costs (Greenberg et al., 2003). Of all mental health disorders, mood disorders are responsible for the highest suicide risk in more developed countries (Nock et al., 2008).
