Incidence of the Diagnosis of Anxiety Disorders in the Russian Federation: Results of a Web-Based Survey of Psychiatrists.

Introduction: According to the official Russian source, in 2017 only 0.27% of the population of Russia was diagnosed with International Classification of Diseases, tenth revision (ICD-10) F4 category disorders (neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders), despite these disorders being among the most prevalent mental disorders worldwide. Here we report the results of a large-scale survey among Russian psychiatrists with the primary objective to assess the proportion of psychiatrists who use the diagnoses of interest (mixed anxiety and depression disorder [MADD], adjustment disorder [AdD], panic disorder [PD], agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder [GAD], social phobia, simple phobia, acute stress disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder) and compare results with those of a recent World Psychiatric Association (WPA) and World Health Organization (WHO) survey.

The Use of ICD-10 for Diagnosing Mental Disorders In Russia, According to National Statistics and a Survey of Psychiatrists' Experience.

Purpose And Methods: In order to assess the specifics of practical use of the ICD-10 Diagnostic Guidelines by Russian psychiatrists, official national statistics on the prevalence of a number of mental disorders in Russia in 2019 were compared with the results of meta-analyses of international epidemiological studies of these disorders.

Results: Analysis of national statistics showed that domestic clinicians diagnose some mental disorders significantly less often than might be expected, according to data obtained by international epidemiological studies.
