There are many types of mental disorders. While most conditions first develop in children and young adults, mental disorders can affect all age groups. Common mental disorders include depression and anxiety disorders.
Less common types of mental disorders include schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Psychiatric epidemiology is a field of health research that counts types of mental disorders. Our aim is to understand the causes of mental disorders and also measure how these disorders impact on our society.
Mental disorders can affect up to 1 in 3 people. In those who develop one type of mental disorder, about half will subsequently also develop a different type of disorder. This is known as comorbidity.
Comorbidity is when a person has two or more different disorders at the same time or when a person develops two or more different disorders over time. We aim to understand how different types of disorders form patterns of comorbidity.
We believe this will help us discover the underlying nature of mental disorders and help clinicians and people with mental disorders better manage their health. Based on registered data from Denmark, we have mapped a comprehensive atlas of comorbidity within mental disorders. This is the most detailed study ever done on this topic.
