9 Estimates for Serious Psychological Distress (SPD) presented here are based on the short form of the SPD module. Hence, prior estimates based on the long form of the SPD module are not comparable with these estimates. For details, see Appendix A of the report on State estimates of substance use from the 2004-2005 NSDUHs. Data for SPD are not defined for 12 to 17 year olds; therefore, the "Total" estimate reflects those aged 18 or older.
10 Major Depressive Episode (MDE) is defined as a period of at least 2 weeks when a person experienced a depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities and had a majority of the symptoms for depression as described in the DSM-IV. Due to minor wording differences in the questions in the adult and adolescent MDE modules, data from youths aged 12 to 17 were not combined with data from persons aged 18 or older to get an overall estimate (i.e., for those aged 12 or older). Therefore, the "Total" estimate reflects those aged 18 or older.
