COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF DYNAMICS IN MENTAL AND BEHAVIOR DISORDERS IN 2015-2019 IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
One of the most important medical and social problems is the state of mental health of the population. In this regard, it is important to conduct systematic research and analysis of the incidence of mental and behavior disorders aimed at finding ways to reduce it. Purpose: to study dynamics and conduct a comparative analysis of indicators of mental disorder incidence and prevalence in the Russian Federation with due regard to gender and age as well as to analyze the structure of incidence and prevalence by groups of mental disorders with due regard to gender. Material and methods. The analysis of indicators of incidence and prevalence used statistical forms №10 “Information on mental and behavior disorders (except for psychoactive substance use disorders)” for 2015 - 2019. Indicators were calculated per 100 000 population; the analysis of morbidity was carried out by comparing dynamics in the indicators. Results. The study shows that prevalence of mental and behavior disorders in the Russian Federation decreased over the past five years by 3% equaling to 2680.5 per 100 000 population in 2019. The decrease was mainly accounted for by males (male prevalence decreased by 4%). Prevalence among children (0-14 years old) and adults decreased by 6.1% and 2.7%, respectively, while prevalence among adolescents (15-17 years) has a tendency towards increasing. On the contrary, the incidence of mental disorders in the Russian Federation in 2019 increased by 3.9% adding up to 312.3 per 100 000 population compared to 2015. The increase was mainly due to the male population with the growth rate equaling to 5%. Over the five years this indicator decreased by 2.1% among children aged 0-14, while in other age groups it tends to increase. In the structure of prevalence by groups of mental disorders with the breakdown on gender, the share of patients suffering from non-psychotic disorders, psychoses and dementia predominates in females (51.2% and 32.1%, respectively). The group of patients with mental retardation is higher among males adding up to 24.7%. In the structure of incidence, the share of patients suffering from non-psychotic disorders and mental retardation is higher in males (74.1% and 8.5%, respectively). The share of those suffering from psychosis and dementia prevails in females equaling to 22.7%.
