Based on a nationally representative dataset, we first investigate the prevalence and distribution of depression and depressive symptoms among China?s adult population, and then use several econometric methods to estimate the multi-dimensional disease burden of the mental disorder, such as its direct medical costs, its indirect economic costs, and its hidden costs on social trust and life satisfaction. In addition, we specifically address the socioeconomic determinants of mental health by examining how the relative and absolute economic status may determine people?s mental depression. Lastly, we propose an analytical framework to evaluate the four major hurdles that cause the treatment gaps of mental health care, and discuss the policy options to overcome such hurdles and to address the unmet mental healthcare needs in China and other developing countries. The book may facilitate our understanding on the complex determinants and implications of the rising prevalence of mental health disorders in developing countries like China. In addition to the students, teachers, and researchers in the fields of health economics and public health, the book may also be of interest to health policy makers and non-government agencies who are concerned with addressing the global mental healthcare challenges using economic policy tools. 410 0$aApplied Economics and Policy Studies,$x2731-4014 606 $aMedical economics 606 $aQuality of life 606 $aHealth Economics 606 $aQuality of Life Research 615 0$aMedical economics. 615 0$aQuality of life. 615 14$aHealth Economics. 615 24$aQuality of Life Research. 676 $a338.4761 700 $aQin$b Xuezheng$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01587809 702 $aHsieh$b Chee-Ruey$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741173603321 996 $aEconomic Analysis of Mental Health in China$93876332 997 $aUNINA
