| Annotation | This paper utilises data from the Epidemiologic Catchment Area study to explore the relationship between base line subjective emotional health (SEH) and the risk for major depression in the next year. Results show the age- and gender-adjusted relationship between SEH and depression is quite significant, and remains so after adjusting for other factors associated with major depression. The more positive the SEH rating, the lower the risk of an episode of depression in the next year. |
