Any anxiety or mood disorder increased from 10.2 to 16.7%. Clinical profiles were equally severe in 2019\u20132022; rather, there was increased mental health care use, a higher number of comorbid disorders and earlier onset. Examination of 14 risk factors showed no consistent evidence of greater prevalence or increased relative impact over time.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0007125025104546_as5\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There was a consistent rise in the 12-month prevalence of anxiety and mood disorders over 12 years. This increase was not explained by changes in risk factors or less severe disorder reporting. Instead, these findings suggest a concerning decline in public mental health, highlighting the need for effective prevention strategies, timely interventions and better mental health resource allocation to address growing clinical demands.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.2025.10454","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,7]],"date-time":"2025-11-07T05:04:04Z","timestamp":1762491844000},"page":"513-520","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Anxiety and mood disorders on the rise: exploring clinical profiles and risk factors"],"prefix":"10.1192","volume":"228","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8749-4984","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Artemis","family":"Gkitakou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/00q6h8f30","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Amsterdam UMC, Vrije University, Public Health Research Institute"},{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02amggm23","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Trimbos Institute, Netherlands Institute of Mental Health and Addiction"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Margreet Ten","family":"Have","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02amggm23","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Trimbos Institute, Netherlands Institute of Mental Health and Addiction"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Neeltje M.","family":"Batelaan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/00q6h8f30","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Amsterdam UMC, Vrije University, Public Health Research Institute"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Annemarie I.","family":"Luik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02amggm23","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Trimbos Institute, Netherlands Institute of Mental Health and Addiction"},{"name":"Erasmus MC University Medical Center Rotterdam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brenda W.
