TL;DR
Estimates of population attributable risk indicated that physicians actually provided services to more persons with depressive symptoms than to persons with formally defined conditions of depressive disorders.
Abstract
Estimates of population attributable risk indicated that physicians actually provided services to more persons with depressive symptoms than to persons with formally defined conditions of depressive disorders. Subclinical depression, as a consequence of high prevalence, is a clinical and public health problem. Attention to diagnostic and treatment issues is indicated.

The threshold for identifying clinically significant depression may need to be reevaluated to include persons with fewer symptoms but measurable morbidity, only by changing the nosology can the societal impact of depression be adequately addressed.

Questions are raised about the nature of nonspecific distress in relation to Frank's construct of "demoralization," the value of the measured dimensions of psychopathology that contrast with it, and the relation of PERI, which uses a self-report format, to diagnostic interviews developed here and abroad.

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.

There are several diseases, including schizophrenia, alcoholism, and opiate addiction, for which the long-term prognosis is subject to disagreement between clinicians and researchers and also among researchers, and sampling bias in clinical and research samples is illustrated.

It appears that the excess fraction will be most relevant in situations that require only consideration of whether disease occurs by a particular time, and direct measures of effect on incidence time may be as relevant as or more relevant than any attributable fraction.

Using this classification, there is less variation in epidemiologic rates (point prevalence, incidence, and lifetime risk) than has been noted in previous reviews.

100 Citations1984Sander Greenland
It is shown that some of the proposed methods for deriving standardized morbidity ratios and attributable fraction estimates will, in general, produce biased estimators, although the low variance of certain estimators sometimes compensates for their bias.
