First-incidence of common mental disorders now and 12 years ago: Results from the Netherlands Mental Health Survey and Incidence Studies (NEMESIS).
Article in European psychiatry : the journal of the Association of European Psychiatrists, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe prevalence of mood, anxiety, and substance use disorders has risen in the last decade. It is unclear to what extent this rise is also seen in the first-incidence of these disorders, even though this is relevant for prevention. We provide up-to-date information on the first-incidence of common mental disorders (mood, anxiety, and substance use disorders) and compare this with the first-incidence 12 years ago.
methodsFirst-incidence of DSM-5 common mental disorders was examined with a slightly modified version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) 3.0 in 4,688 respondents (18-75 years; interviewed in 2019-2022 and 2023-2024) from the third Netherlands Mental Health Survey and Incidence Study (NEMESIS-3). The CIDI also assessed DSM-IV diagnoses and, therefore, 12-year changes could be examined by comparing first-incidence rates of DSM-IV mental disorders between NEMESIS-3 (3,687 respondents aged 18-64 years) and NEMESIS-2 (5,303 respondents aged 18-64 years; interviewed in 2007-2009 and 2010-2012).
resultsIn NEMESIS-3, 11.1% of adults without prior psychopathology experienced a DSM-5 common mental disorder over 3 years. First incidence was similar for any mood disorder (7.1%) and any anxiety disorder (6.9%), but lower for any substance use disorder (3.2%). From 2010-2012 to 2023-2024, the 3-year incidence of any DSM-IV disorder significantly increased from 8.5 to 14.0%. This change remained significant after controlling for differences in sociodemographic characteristics.
conclusionsThe substantial rise in first incidence of mental disorders likely contributes to the previously observed rise in their prevalence. This implicates a need for enhanced preventive measures and early intervention initiatives.
