Abstract. Mental health outcomes have shown dramatic changes over the past half-century, yet these trends are still underexplored.

This is comparable to the diagnostic accuracy reported for other commonly used screening tools in primary care, such as the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalised Anxiety Disorder Screener-7 (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15) [46]. The index tests tended to have a lower specificity than sensitivity.

Mainstream pharmacotherapeutic treatment of mental health problems often ...
The use of mental health apps continues to skyrocket. Certain apps, such as digital therapeutics, can cost between $300 and $1,500 per year and are typically not covered by insurance.
