Part II NCS-R respondents in the age range 18–44.

The proportion of respondents with more than two diagnoses ranged from 3.8% with exactly three to 0.03% with 15 and averaged 4.5 diagnoses per respondent with more than two. When the diagnosis is taken as the unit of analysis, the results in this column show that more than half of all 12-month diagnoses occurred to respondents with three or more disorders.

The 19 disorders generate 219 (524,288) logically possible multivariate disorder profiles, of which 433 are observed in the sample of Part II respondents in the age range 18–44.
