Prevalence of depression in Lyme = 7 in 1000 ?

Posted by SLS on May 1, 2018, at 6:40:51

Initial calculation.
-----------------------------------
a) Prevalence of Lyme Disease in the United States = 329,000
https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/stats/humancases.html
b) Prevalence of Lyme Disease that presents as depression = 40% (0.40)
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7943444
c) Prevalence of Major Depressive Disorder - 16,200,00
https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/statistics/major-depression.shtml

-------------------------------------------------------
Depression cases with Lyme Disease =
(a x b) / c
-------------------------------------------------------
(329,000 x 0.40)/16,200,000 = 0.00741 = 0.741% = 7/1000
-------------------------------------------------------

Some see things as they are and ask why.
I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
