TL;DR
A bias toward underreporting, as well as stronger agreement at the level of the depression syndrome and on ordinal measures of depressive symptoms, suggests that associations with risk factors are conservative.
Abstract
Weak agreement at the level of diagnosis continues to threaten the credibility of estimates of prevalence of specific disorders. A bias toward underreporting, as well as stronger agreement at the level of the depression syndrome and on ordinal measures of depressive symptoms, suggests that associations with risk factors are conservative.

The National Institute of Mental Health multisite Epidemiologic Catchment Area (ECA) program is described in the context of four previous psychiatric epidemiologic surveys that included a combined total of 4,000 subjects from Stirling County, the Baltimore Morbidity Study, Midtown Manhattan, and the New Haven third-wave survey.
Archives of General PsychiatryA Comparison of Clinical and Diagnostic Interview Schedule Diagnoses
633 Citations1985John E. Helzer
Lay results showed a bias for only two diagnoses: major depression was significantly underdiagnosed and obsessive illness was overdiagnosed, and the implications for psychiatric epidemiologic research are discussed.

488 Citations1997William W. Eaton
The bimodality of onset suggests the value of further exploring the heterogeneity of depression via its natural history, and reported differences in prevalence between men and women seem to be due to differences in incidence, not chronicity.

A comparison of the DIS and the SADS-L with a DIS/DSM-III-Based Physician Reevaluation and a Problems in the Definition and Measurement of Prevalence and Incidence of Psychiatric Disorders is presented.

Psychological MedicineAre the lifetime prevalence estimates in the ECA study accurate?
157 Citations1987Gordon Parker
These findings suggest that establishing a lifetime diagnosis is likely to depend on the particular psychiatric condition, and suggest a relatively good prognosis for antisocial personality and substance use disorders, and a far more chronic or recurring pattern for the functional psychoses and affective disorders.

Panic is heterogeneous in its pattern of onset and recovery, and some of the heterogeneity is associated with the presence of other anxiety over a long period of the life.
