The global burden of mental, neurological and substance use disorders: an analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010.
Embedded
yes

Text

the established definitions of mental, neurological, and substance use disorders used in the study may not be sensitive to non-Western presentation of these disorders, which may have led to an underestimation of burden in developing regions. A task for upcoming GBD analyses will be to explore the extent to which certain disorders are misdiagnosed as other mental or physical disorders in developing countries and the consequence on burden.
