Abstract Despite the extensive history of social movements around the world, the evolution of population mental health before, during, and after a social movement remains sparsely documented. We sought to assess over time the prevalence of depressive symptoms during and after the Occupy Central movement in Hong Kong and to examine the associations of direct and indirect exposures to Occupy Central with depressive symptoms. We longitudinally administered interviews to 909 adults who were randomly sampled from the population-representative FAMILY Cohort at 6 time points from March 2009 to March 2015: twice each before, during, and after the Occupy Central protests. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 was used to assess depressive symptoms and probable major depression (defined as Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score ≥10). The absolute prevalence of probable major depression increased by 7% after Occupy Central, regardless of personal involvement in the protests. Higher levels of depressive symptoms were associated with online and social media exposure to protest-related news (incidence rate ratio (IRR) = 1.28, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.06, 1.55) and more frequent Facebook use (IRR = 1.38, 95% CI: 1.12, 1.71). Higher levels of intrafamilial sociopolitical conflict was associated with more depressive symptoms (IRR = 1.05, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.09). The Occupy Central protests resulted in substantial and sustained psychological distress in the community.

Zusammenfassung. Ziel dieser Studie ist die Validierung der deutschen Version des “Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-D)“. Der PHQ wurde zum praktikablen Screening psychischer Störungen für die Primärmedizin entwickelt und erfasst direkt die diagnostischen Kriterien des DSM-IV. N = 357 allgemeinmedizinische/internistische Patienten und N = 171 psychosomatische Patienten wurden mit dem PHQ-D und dem Strukturierten Klinischen Interview für DSM-IV (SKID-I) untersucht, wobei das SKID-I als diagnostischer Goldstandard diente. Ärzte und Patienten wurden zur Akzeptanz des PHQ-D befragt. Eine ausgezeichnete Kriteriumsvalidität des PHQ-D zeigte sich insbesondere bei der Diagnose der Major Depression, wo die Sensitivität für die medizinische Stichprobe bei 95% und die Spezifität bei 86% lag. Gute teststatistische Werte ergaben sich u.a. auch für die Panikstörung. Die Anwendung des PHQ-D wurde von jeweils mehr als 90% der Patienten und Ärzte gut akzeptiert. Mit dem PHQ-D liegt ein praktikables, valides und gut akzeptiertes Instrument zur Anwendung in Forschung und klinischer Praxis vor. Sein Einsatz kann zur verbesserten Versorgung psychischer Störungen beitragen.

The Impact

Mental disorders lead to difficulties in social, occupational and marital relations. Failure to detect mental disorder denies patients potentially effective treatment. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and nature of mental disorders at the primary care settings and the recognition of these disorders by the attending physicians. Over a period of eight weeks, consecutive and consenting patients who attended three randomly selected primary health care facilities in Sagamu Local Government Area of Ogun state were recruited and administered a questionnaire that included a socio-demographic section and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ). A total of 412 subjects took part in the study. Subject age ranged from 18-90 years with a mean age of 52.50±21.08 years. One hundred and seventy-six (42.7%) of the subjects were males. A total of 120 (29.1%) of the subjects had depressive disorder, 100 (24.3%) had anxiety disorder, 196 (47.6%) somatoform disorder and 104 (25.2%) met the criteria for an alcohol related problem. The PHC physicians were only able to diagnose disorders relating to mental health in 52 (12.6%) of the subjects. Health and work situations accounted for more than three-quarters of the causes of stress experienced by the subjects. We conclude that there is a high prevalence of mental disorders among patients seen in primary care settings and that a significant proportion of them are not recognized by the primary care physicians. Stress relating to health, work and financial problems is common among primary health care attendees. Physicians in primary health care should be alert to the possibility and the impact of undetected psychiatric morbidity.
