The paper has aimed to shed light on the healthcare costs that have been allocated for
the people with psychological disorders like distress and depression. The main keywords for
the articles based upon the survey on mental health and well being. The paper has discussed
about the health administrative databases regarding to the depression mainly (Chiu et al.,
2017). Another keyword is the allocation of health care resources in the psychological
distress. Also the paper is based upon the maintenance of high quality care in mental illness.
This paper has highlighted the depression as a major concern in mental illness.
Disorder refers to the psychological condition which has negative affect on the thought of the
patient. The most common symptom of the disorder indifference towards a various activities
(Gilbert, 2016). The people with major depressive disorder exclusively show psychological
distress. There are several psychological disorders that are closely related to clinical
depression such as anxiety, us social disorder and panic disorder (Gilbert, 2016). The factors
which can lead to depression include the chemical abnormality in the brain, genetically
transferred from one generation to another, personality of the patient and environmental
factors such as violence, abuse etc. (Gilbert, 2016). It is treatable and the treatment can be
provided by psychotherapy and medication (Gilbert, 2016). This article mainly supports the
population based cohort studies. According (Skosireva et al., 2014), this cohort studies
actually help to examine the costs of mental illness. However, according to some studies
there are drawbacks of both prospective and retrospective cohort studies. This paper has
focused on the mental distress associated with low sociological status. It is understood from
different studies that people with low social economic status are mostly affected by
depression while people with stable economic conditions are minutely affected by depression.
However, there are exceptions. Apart from the economic stability different studies reported
about the connection between living standard and depression (Freeman et al., 2016). It shows

the study population in the criteria of improvement and reduction of mental condition (Chiu
et al., 2017).
In US below 20 percent adults has experienced a huge depressive episode in their live
for a certain time. National institute of mental health reported that around 17.3 million adults
in U.S. had suffered from depression in their lifetime. The prevalence of depression related
psychological changes are higher among adult females compared to males. Apart from that,
around 3.2 million adolesces had suffered from depression (National Institute of Mental
Health, 2017). However in Canada the prevalence was more than 12 percent (Chiu et al.,
2017). Hence, there were some causes in reduction of mentally depressed people in Canada.
However the chosen paper has not discussed about the difference between US and Canada
regarding their social depression.
Again the paper has focused on the individuals in primary care setting related to
psychiatric treatment. However it does not indicate the population based parameters.
According to, (Knaak, Mantler & Szeto, 2017), as a result the paper has successively
examined the people represented depression particularly those who do not look for health
services. Also it has indicated the studies having limitations due to the age, sex, lifestyles,
incomes and somatic illness. Apart from that, education regarding the disorder is also
important to avoid depression. Different studies reported that people who are well aware
about depression are generally involved in healthy habits such as exercise, nutritional food
consumption, adequate sleeping etc. These activities can reduce the chances of depression
(Schuch et al., 2016).
The paper did not indicate the cost comparison of MDD group of patient. However
this article has confided with the self-reported health care utilization. A successful evaluation
of the authentic intervention of the health sectors in the mental illness cases has been
