Abstract
The purpose of the current report is to present nationally representative estimates of lifetime prevalence and age-of-onset distributions of the DSM-IV disorders assessed in the recently completed National Comorbidity Survey Replication (NCS-R).1 While the Epidemiological Catchment Area Study2 and the baseline National Comorbidity Survey (NCS)3 both reported high lifetime prevalence and generally early age-of-onset distributions of most DSM-III (NCS) and DSM-III-R (NCS-R) disorders, it is not clear whether similar results will hold for DSM-IV disorders because of the greater emphasis on clinically significant distress and impairment in DSM-IV than in earlier editions.Keywords
