This report describes the extent to which carers experience mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety and phobias, and identifies a number of factors which are associated with increased levels of such symptoms. It considers a range of factors, such as the socio-demographic characteristics of the carer themselves, their health, the characteristics of those they care for, and the support they receive in their caring role. The report also considers to what extent those carers with mental health problems receive treatment. The report includes a description of the survey methods used and aims to provide an overview of the main topics covered.

The longitudinal study described in this report involved an 18-month follow-up of people interviewed in the 2000 Psychiatric Morbidity Survey. The original sample included people aged 16–74 years residing in private households in England, Wales and Scotland. The mental disorders covered in the study were common mental disorders and substance misuse. The aims of the study were to investigate: the proportion who recovered from the common mental disorders of depression and anxiety approximately 18 months after initial assessment and the socio-demographic and social factors that are associated with recovery; the proportion without current disorder in the original survey who were found to have disorder 18 months later (an episode onset) and the factors associated with this change; the onset and recovery from suicidal thoughts and factors associated with these changes; the onset and cessation of substance misuse (cigarette smoking, alcohol misuse and drug misuse) and factors associated with these changes; the treatment and care received for mental disorders in the follow-up period in primary care, secondary care and other services and factors associated with this; in a sub-sample, the met and unmet needs for social and medical care were also investigated; and non-clinical outcomes related to the course of the disorder including employment, physical health and other indicators of quality of life.
