    Study Notes

    Disease Burden and DALYS

    • Disease burden measures the impact of a disease on a population, calculated in terms of loss of healthy life.
    • DALYS (Disability-Adjusted Life Years) is a key metric used to assess disease burden.
    • It combines Years of Life Lost (YLLS) due to premature death and Years Lived with Disability (YLDs) due to health consequences of illness or injury.
    • One DALY represents one lost year of healthy life.
    • A higher DALY value signifies a greater disease burden.
    • Zero DALYS indicates perfect health for the entire population.

    Top 10 Disease Burden in Netherlands (2021)

    • COVID-19 ranked high in DALYs in the Netherlands.
    • Other prominent causes included Ischemic heart disease, Trachea, bronchus, lung cancers, back and neck pain, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, Alzheimer's disease, falls, and colon and rectum cancers.
    • DALYs recorded per 100,000 population.

    Global Disease Burden of Mental Health Disorders

    • Global burden of mental disorders has increased substantially from 1990–2019.
    • DALYs attributed to mental health increased from 90 million to 125.3 million.
    • Mental health disorders are a significant contributor to global disability.

    Underestimating DALYs for Mental Health Disorders

    • The true burden of mental health disorders is likely underestimated due to several factors.
    • Exclusion of personality disorders: These conditions are not always included in burden of disease estimates.
    • Indirect mortality: Mental health conditions can contribute to mortality indirectly (e.g., accidents, substance abuse, chronic diseases).
    • Overlap with other disorders: Mental health conditions often co-occur with other disorders, making it difficult to isolate their individual impact.
    • Exclusion of chronic pain
    • Revised estimate: When considering these contributing factors, the proportion of global DALYs attributable to mental health disorders could increase to 16%.

    Global Prevalence of Mental Disorders (2019)

    • Mental health disorders are widespread globally.
    • 970 million people (approx. 1 in 8) have all mental health disorders.
    • 301 million people have anxiety disorders.
    • 280 million people have depression.
    • 40 million people have Bipolar disorder.

    Economic Burden of Mental Health Disorders

    • Global economic losses due to mental health disorders were estimated at 1.42 trillion USD.
    • When wider impacts (e.g., alcohol, drug use, neurological disorders, chronic pain, suicide, self-harm) are considered, estimated economic losses increase to 4.74 trillion USD.

    Partial Reduction of Burden due to Treatment

    • Treatment reduces the burden of mental health disorders but often only does so partially.
    • Relapse rates across numerous mental health disorders are high, even after successful treatment.
    • Approximately 70% of those needing mental health care do not have access.

    Prevention Strategies and Challenges for Mental Health Disorders

    • Prevention programs aim at reducing the incidence, prevalence, and recurrence of disorders.
    • Preventative strategies require a multi-level approach including individual, community, and societal-level interventions.
    • Several practical challenges include low uptake, complexity in predicting and preventing future disorders, and the large sample sizes required for effective research.

    Prevention Strategies and Challenges for Addiction Disorders

    • Prevention relies on multifaceted approaches.
    • Programs often target multiple levels - micro-level (individual), meso-level (community), and macro-level (societal).
    • The multifaceted nature of addiction requires diverse preventative interventions to effectively target different contributing factors - biological, psychological, and sociocultural.
    • Several challenges include low uptake, complexity of programs, and research challenges related to sample sizes.

    Lecture 2 - Depression & Prevention

    • Depression is a complex condition arising from a combination of factors.
    • There are various prevention and treatment methods for depression.

    Lecture 3 - Prevention of Addiction

    • Addiction is defined as the use of a substance to alter the functioning of the central nervous system.
    • Various classes of drugs alter brain function in different ways (e.g., Downers, Trippers, Uppers).
    • The impact on individuals and society can be significant with regards to adverse health consequences, social damage, and addiction potential.

    Lecture 4 - Prevention in Children and Adolescents

    • Prevention programs tailored to children and adolescents must focus on developmental needs and challenges.
    • Programs should aim to build resilience, foster competence, and address risk factors early in development.
    • Key preventative goals include promoting physical and mental health, attachment development, and relationship skills.

    Lecture 5 - An Environmental Perspective

    • Urbanization is a risk factor for mental health issues.
    • Nature provides protective effects against mental health problems.
    • Individuals can benefit from environmental interventions, such as creating green and blue spaces in urban locations.

    Lecture 6 - Prevention of Suicide

    • Defining suicidal behavior.
    • Key factors related to suicidal behavior
    • Identifying, recognizing, and challenging myths and misconceptions around suicide.
    • Evaluating key theories on suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
    • Developing strategies for addressing suicidal thoughts by being empathetic, informed, and supportive.

    Lecture 7 - Psychosis Prevention

    • Psychosis includes symptoms that deviate from reality, such as hallucinations and delusions.
    • It's a syndrome affecting functioning, and is a key component of disorders like schizophrenia.
    • Psychotic symptoms are more common than schizophrenia diagnosis.

    Lecture 9 - Secondary Prevention of PTSD

    • Defining trauma and its impact on individuals.
    • PTSD symptoms are categorized into various types, including re-experiencing, avoidance, and hyperarousal symptoms.
    • Factors, including pre-trauma circumstances and peri- and post trauma factors, can increase the risk of PTSD.
