The incidence of major depressive episodes between the ages of 20 and 50 was assessed using the Indicators of Major Depressive Disorder Scale. The presence of an anxiety disorder between the ages of 20 and 50 was assessed through chart review by a study psychiatrist. The presence of major depression or an anxiety disorder between the ages of 20 and 70 was coded by two independent psychiatrists. See “Methods section for details.
