Depression and anxiety levels throughout Aotearoa
Dr Robert Shaw made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health
The request was successful.
From: Dr Robert Shaw
Dear Ministry of Health,
In 2015 there was information on anxiety and depression by Board region. A newspaper reported:
"Figures released by the Ministry of Health showed that nearly one in 14 people in the Capital & Coast District Health Board zone were likely to have an anxiety or depressive disorder, the third highest rate in New Zealand."
What is the full list of results of this 2015 survey and do you have any update on the same information, please?
Yours faithfully,
