TL;DR: There is cross-national variability in the prevalence of suicidal behaviours, but strong consistency in the characteristics and risk factors for these behaviours.

TL;DR: To describe the 12‐month and lifetime prevalence rates of mood, anxiety and alcohol disorders in six European countries, a large number of countries with high prevalence of these disorders have been surveyed.

TL;DR: Data is presented on the prevalence, impairment and demographic correlates of depression from 18 high and low- to middle-income countries in the World Mental Health Survey Initiative to investigate the combination of demographic risk factors that are most strongly associated with MDE in the specific countries included in the WMH.

TL;DR: The lifetime prevalence, projected lifetime risk, and age of onset of DSM-IV disorders were assessed with the WHO Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI), a fully-structured lay administered diagnostic interview as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Mental health care in 17 countries participating in the WHO world mental health survey initiative is described and unmet needs for treatment are examined, especially concerning in less-developed countries.
