What is an emotional disorder? A transdiagnostic mechanistic definition with implications for assessment, treatment, and prevention (2019, background): “Most individuals do not seek treatment immediately following disorder onset, which further exacerbates the associated impairment and economic costs (Wang et al., 2007).”
The Global Burden of Mental, Neurological and Substance Use Disorders: An Analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (2015, background): “Even in HICs, where rates of treatment are comparatively higher, treatment for mental, neurological, and substance use disorders tends to be provided many years after the onset of the disorder [3,4].”
Lifetime prevalence and age-of-onset distributions of mental disorders in the World Health Organization's World Mental Health Survey Initiative. (2007, background): “Importantly, studies of initial contact with the treatment system (46-48) show that people with these early-onset disorders often wait more than a decade before seeking treatment, and present with seriously impairing disorders that might have been easier to treat if they had sought treatment earlier”
Prevalence and Correlates of Bipolar Spectrum Disorder in the World Mental Health Survey Initiative (2011, unknown): “Additional Contributions: The WMH Surveys are carried out in conjunction with the World Health Organization WMH Survey Initiative.”
Scholarship, Research, and Creative Work at Bryn Mawr College Scholarship, Research, and Creative Work at Bryn Mawr College (background): “…but also (extensively and commendably) in Magna Graecia; 2) political institutions, analyzed by area; 3) economic conditions; 4) intellectual history and philosophy; and 5) city planning, architecture, and the various art forms, by region, including Lycia, Karia, and Macedonia (in this order).”
Posttraumatic stress disorder in the World Mental Health Surveys (2017, background): “…broaden the findings from a previous WMH report of 15 countries, which found significant variation in treatment during the year of disorder onset with 0.8% to 36.4% of respondents reporting treatment for anxiety disorders and a median delay of 3–30 years before treatment contact (Wang et al. 2007).”
Barriers to Mental Health Treatment: Results from the National Comorbidity Survey Replication (NCS-R) (2010, result): “These findings are consistent with findings from past research on the association of severity of illness with barriers to seeking treatment for mental disorders (Wang et al. 2007b ; Drapalski et al. 2008).”
