The prevalence of 12-month and lifetime DSM-IV MDD was 5.28% (95% confidence interval, 4.98 - 5.57) and 13.23% (95% confidence interval, 12.64 - 13.81), respectively. Being female; Native American; middle-aged; widowed, separated, or divorced; and low income increased risk, and being Asian, Hispanic, or black decreased risk (P<.05). Women were significantly more likely to receive treatment than men. Both current and lifetime MDD were significantly associated with other specific psychiatric disorders, notably substance dependence, panic and generalized anxiety disorder, and several personality disorders.
