a

Lifetime PEs was used as a predictor of mental disorder onset in separate discrete-time survival model controlling for age-cohorts, gender, person-years, country, time-varying education, time-varying marriage and employment status.

b

Lifetime PEs was used as a predictor of mental disorder onset in separate discrete-time survival model including the controls specified above, other temporally primary mental disorders and number of temporally primary mental disorders (2,3,4 5+ disorders). Full details of these models are shown in Supplementary material Table S4.
