Adults aged 18 and above.Data Interpretation Issues
Question Text: "Has a doctor, nurse, or other health professional EVER told you that you have a depressive disorder, including depression, major depression, dysthymia, or minor depression?" NOTE: The question asks about lifetime diagnosis and does not reflect current major depression. As with all surveys, some error results from nonresponse (e.g., refusal to participate in the survey or to answer specific questions), and measurement (e.g., social desirability or recall bias). Error was minimized by use of strict calling protocols, good questionnaire design, standardization of interviewer behavior, interviewer training, and frequent, on-site interviewer monitoring and supervision.Why Is This Important?
Approximately 21.0%* of adults in the U.S. experienced some kind of mental illness during 2020^1^. Mental disorders like depression and anxiety can affect people's ability to take part in healthy behaviors. Similarly, physical health problems can make it harder for people to get treatment for mental disorders. Increasing screening for mental disorders can help people get the treatment they need^2^. Approximately 8.4% of adults suffered from at least one episode of major depression in 2020^3^. Major depression is defined as having severe symptoms that interfere with a person's ability to work, sleep, study, eat, and enjoy life. Symptoms of major depression may include fatigue or loss of energy, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, impaired concentration, loss of interest in daily activities, appetite or weight changes, sleep changes, and recurring thoughts of death or suicide. Despite the availability of effective treatments for major depression, such as medications and/or psychotherapeutic techniques, it often goes unrecognized and untreated.^4^[[br]] [[br]] ---- 1.

In Utah, adult women (32.1%) had significantly higher rates of doctor-diagnosed depression than men (16.3%) in 2021. Combined years 2019-2021 Utah data showed the following: * Hispanic (18.9%), Asian (9.2%), and Pacific Islander (15.6%) adults reported lower lifetime depression than the State rate. White adults (24.7%) reported higher lifetime depression than the state rate. * Adults with a household income less than $25,000 (34.7%) and those with a household income $25,000-$49,999 (27.6%) had significantly higher rates of lifetime doctor-diagnosed depression, while adults with an income greater than $75,000 (19.2%) had lower rates of lifetime depression. * Depression also varied by education. Utah adults aged 25 and above with a college education (19.5%) had a lower rate of doctor-diagnosed depression than adult Utahns with less education. * Adults in Utah County (22.1%), Southwest (20.9%), Wasatch (18.7%), and Summit County Local Health District (17.1%) reported lower rates of doctor-diagnosed depression than the state rate. Tooele County (27.8%) and Weber-Morgan (26.3%) had a rate significantly higher than the state rate. * Among Utah Small Areas, Salt Lake City (Downtown) (31.7%), Sandy (Center) (31.6%), South Salt Lake (30.9%), Midvale (30.7%), Ogden (Downtown) (30.6%), Daybreak (30.2%), South Ogden (30.0%), Clearfield/Hooper (29.7%), Murray (29.6%), Tooele Valley (28.6%), and Carbon County (28.4%) had higher rates of doctor-diagnosed depression than the state rate. Mapleton (11.7%), San Juan County (Other) (12.2%), Park City (14.4%), Southwest LHD (16.8%), Millcreek (East) (17.2%), Provo (West City Center) (18.1%), Lehi (18.6%), and Wasatch County (18.7%) had lower rates than the state rate.How Do We Compare With the U.S.?
Utah has consistently higher rates of self-reported lifetime depression than the U.S. rate (24.2% vs. 20.1% in 2021).What Is Being Done?
The Utah Department of Health and Huma Services Violence and Injury Prevention Program (VIPP) partnered with the Division of Substance and Mental Health (DSAMH) to facilitate the Suicide Prevention Coalition and Suicide Fatality Reviews. In addition, six local health districts (Bear River, Davis, Summit, Tooele, Utah, Weber-Morgan) have been funded to do suicide prevention activities such as promoting mental health resources and help-seeking behavior, distributing gun locks to reduce access to lethal means, and training the community in suicide prevention using evidence-based/promising practice programs like Signs of Suicide, Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR), Working Minds, and SafeTALK. These trainings promote suicide first aid by teaching individuals to recognize the warning signs of suicide, how to offer hope, and how to refer to resources and save a life.Evidence-based Practices
Evidence based practices for suicide prevention and media messaging can be found on [http://https://vipp.health.utah.gov/suicide-prevention/].Available Services
The Utah Department of Human Services Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health (DSAMH) is the state agency responsible for ensuring that mental health services are available statewide. The Division also acts as a resource by providing general information, research results, and statistics to the public regarding substances of abuse and mental health services. The Division contracts with Community Mental Health Centers (CMHC) to provide these services and monitors these centers through site visits, a year-end review process, and a peer review process.

Relevant Population Characteristics
The proportion of adults who reported ever being told they had a depressive disorder varies by a number of population characteristics including age, sex, income, and education.Related Relevant Population Characteristics Indicators:
- Utah Population Characteristics: Age Distribution of the Population
- Utah Population Characteristics: Education Level in the Population
- Utah Population Characteristics: Household Income
- Utah Population Characteristics: Per Capita Income
- Utah Population Characteristics: Poverty, All Persons
- Utah Population Characteristics: Racial and Ethnic Composition of the Population
Health Care System Factors
Because people with chronic health conditions may also be at greater risk for depression, it is important that primary care providers assess their patients with chronic physical conditions for depression. The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) was developed to be used by primary care providers for screening, diagnosing, and measuring the severity of depression. The PHQ-9 was adapted for telephone health surveys and is asked on the Utah Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance in some years.^1^[[br]] [[br]] ---- 1.

Risk Factors
Utah adults who reported chronic illnesses and/or poor health status in general, were also more likely to have reported having ever been told they had a depressive disorder. It is known that behavioral health problems often co-occur with chronic diseases and may exacerbate poor health outcomes.Related Risk Factors Indicators:
Health Status Outcomes
In attempts to deal with the pain of depression, some people with depression turn to drugs, alcohol, and other harmful behaviors that can endanger their lives.Related Health Status Outcomes Indicators:
