    About statistics: This page presents a variety of statistics about Psychological disorders. The term 'prevalence' of Psychological disorders usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Psychological disorders at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Psychological disorders refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Psychological disorders diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.

    Case Study: Diabetes Type II, Hypertension, and Depression
    A 55-year-old gentleman entered The Center for Chronic Disorders on November 5, 1997 for a 21-day course of treatment for hypertension, Type II diabetes (non-insulin dependent) and depression. On admission to the program, he was taking medication for control of all three disorders. Following is a brief synopsis with respect to each disorder: a. Hypertension: Prior to starting medication in 1995, his blood pressure had been elevated (170/106). A few months prior to starting the Chronic Disorders Program (CDP), he had attempted to come off the medication on his own, but his blood pressure became elevated within one week (160/90) and the medication had to be resumed. On entering the CDP his blood pressure on medication was normal; however, he was experiencing side-effects from the medication, including depression and fatigue. After beginning the CDP his blood pressure medicine was stopped, but his blood pressure remained normal. On completing the 21-day program he was placed on a home regimen which included some of the treatments used during the CDP. Five months following the CDP, his blood pressure continued to be normal (average 121/79) without medication.

    Psychological Disorders
    According to Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General , mental disorders are “health conditions that are characterized by alterations in thinking, mood, or behavior (or some combination thereof) associated with distress and/or impaired functioning.” About 15 percent of the U.S. adult population use some form of mental health service in any year. Having a psychological disorder does not necessarily mean a person has a disability, yet in many cases the condition is severe enough to be disabling.
    The following are descriptions of some of the more prominent psychological disorders and the impact they can have in the workplace, including effects of common medications taken for the conditions. Most of the information in this section can be found on the website of the National Institute of Mental Health (www.nimh.mih.gov).
    Depression / Bipolar Disorder / Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
    Depression is one of the most common and most serious mental health problems facing people today. This year, more than 19 million American adults (9.5% of the population) will suffer from this disorder.
