Journal Title: Edelweiss: Psychiatry Open Access - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a serious neuropsychic disease. It destroys persons family relationship and social connections seriously. Latest WHO investigation disclosed nearly 4.4% of the population worldwide (approximately 322 million people) were being affected by MDD extensively [1]. While in China, Dong M, et al. reported the occurrence rate of suicide attempt during hospitalization and after the onset of MDD were 17.3% (95% CI: 12.4-23.7%) and 42.1% (95% CI: 26.1-60.0%) respectively [2]. Another research made by Grupta S, et al. announced MDD in urban China might be under-diagnosed and untreated [3].
