Cases of depression that have Lyme Disease:

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
