Global Burden of Disease estimates of depression - how reliable is the epidemiological evidence? (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study aims to quantify the burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors through disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), increasingly focusing on mental health issues such as depression. Despite its global impact, the GBD's epidemiological estimates have drawn criticism regarding their reliability, particularly in low-income countries, where data quality may be insufficient. This analysis evaluates the reliability of the GBD estimates of depression, highlighting uncertainties around data collection methods and the need for improved epidemiological practices to better inform health policies and interventions.
