Abstract
Purpose: This study examines the influence of socioeconomic factors on the prevalence of depression and anxiety and on the number of years lived with disability (YLD) of depression and anxiety.
Design and methods: This is an exploratory study. The study analyzed data from 160 member countries of the World Health Organization (WHO).
Findings: Except for alcohol consumption and unemployment rate, Gini coefficient, age dependency, rural population, and population aged 65 and above have statistically significant effects on both depression and anxiety prevalence. Also, Gini coefficient and rural population have significant effects on YLD of depression and anxiety.
Practice implications: The study results will allow psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals to focus on policy reforms that address the social determinants of mental health.
