Mental Health Observatory Brief 4 - Estimating the Prevalence of Common Mental health Problems
Planning for the new Department of Health programme to improve access to psychological therapies requires information about the numbers of people requiring its services. The national psychiatric morbidity survey programme provides information about the prevalence of relevant disorders. This Brief outlines a method to apply these findings locally. It is accompanied by a spreadsheet setting out the results of the analysis for PCTs and local authorities in England. Not all those with these disorders need, would accept psychological therapies. The morbidity survey provides further evidence about how prevalent case numbers relate to treatment requirements.
