and other drugs, as well as those asssociated with physical illness and injury, they did not indicate that the CIDI also excludes data from those respondents who consider their symptoms to be trivial or who have not consulted a physician; those who report that their symptoms do not interfere “a lot” with their everyday life and activity (as determined by the respondent); and those who have not taken medication for their symptoms on more than 1 occasion. The exclusion of those respondents whose depressive disorder is associated with alcohol and/or drugs, or with concomitant physical illness and injury, while consistent with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) guidelines, would result in an appreciable underestimate of mood disorders, as would the exclusion of those respondents who sought treatment but who had not taken medication more than once. The CIDI even excludes pregnancy, considering it a “physical condition that can cause symptoms.” The exclusion of those respondents who considered their symptoms to be trivial risks the omission of those who deny the significance of their symptoms and who have poor mental health literacy. Each of these exclusion criteria is open to interpretation.
