The results of recent community epidemiological research are reviewed, documenting that major depressive disorder (MDD) is a highly prevalent, persistent, and often seriously impairing disorder, and that bipolar disorder (BPD) is less prevalent but more persistent and more impairing than MDD. The higher persistence and severity of BPD results in a substantial proportion of all seriously impairing depressive episodes being due to threshold or subthreshold BPD rather than to MDD. Although the percentage of people with mood disorders in treatment has increased substantially since the early 1990s, a majority of cases remain either untreated or undertreated. An especially serious concern is the misdiagnosis of depressive episodes due to BPD as due to MDD because the majority of depression treatment involves medication provided by primary care doctors in the absence of psychotherapy. The article closes with a discussion of future directions for research.

回顾了最近的社区流行病学研究的结果,记录了重性抑郁症 (MDD) 是一种高度流行,持续且经常严重损害的疾病,双相情感障碍 (BPD) 的患病率较低,但比MDD更持久和更具损害。BPD的较高持久性和严重程度导致所有严重损害抑郁发作的很大一部分是由于阈值或阈值以下的BPD而不是MDD引起的。尽管自20世纪90年代初以来,接受治疗的情绪障碍患者的比例已大大增加,但大多数病例仍未得到治疗或治疗不足。一个特别严重的问题是由于BPD和MDD导致的抑郁发作的误诊,因为大多数抑郁症治疗涉及初级保健医生在没有心理治疗的情况下提供的药物。本文最后讨论了未来的研究方向。
