  "description": "<p>2000 subjects from two woredas of a rural section of<br>\nEthiopia were interviewed to determine how many were suffering<br>\nfrom mental disorder and what determinants are related to the<br>\ndisorder. A WHO Self-Reporting Questionnaire was used to assess<br>\nmental illness. The questionnaire has been used before in<br>\nEthiopia and measures neurotic, psychotic, and psychosomatic<br>\nillness in terms of symptoms. 344 cases were found, indicating<br>\nan overall frequency of 17.2% . The great majority of cases were<br>\nsuffering from neurotic and psychosomatic illnesses. Psychiatric<br>\nmorbidity was higher in women, in divorced/separated/widowed<br>\ngroups, and in the age group 35-44. However, the level of social<br>\nstress experienced in the past year was most predict i ve of mental<br>\nillness; the higher a person&#39;s stress level, the higher the<br>\nmental symptom score. Family history of mental illness was the<br>\nsecond best predictor.</p>",
