The fourth survey of the mental health of adults living in private households in England, which are carried out every seven years using a large representative sample of 7,500 people, including those who do not access services. The report presents estimates on prevalence and trends in mental health conditions and contains information on age, sex, ethnicity, employment and benefit status, region, household composition, and the level and nature of mental health treatment and service use. Chapters cover common mental health disorders, mental health treatment and service users, post-traumatic stress disorder, psychotic disorder, autistic spectrum disorder, personality disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, alcohol dependence, drug use and dependence, suicide attempts and self-harm, and comorbidity in mental and physical illness. Trends identified include: an increase in the numbers of women with common mental health disorders, with numbers in men remaining largely stable; young women emerging as a high-risk group, with high rates of common mental health disorders and self-harm. Most mental disorders were also more common in people living alone, people with poor physical health, and the unemployed. (Edited publisher abstract)
