Common mental illness in people with sensory impairment: results from the 2014 adult psychiatric morbidity survey
BACKGROUND: People with sensory impairments may be at increased risk of depression and anxiety but experience barriers to accessing treatment. AIMS: To investigate whether people with sensory impairment have more depressive and anxiety symptoms than people without, whether this is mediated by social...

description | BACKGROUND: People with sensory impairments may be at increased risk of depression and anxiety but experience barriers to accessing treatment. AIMS: To investigate whether people with sensory impairment have more depressive and anxiety symptoms than people without, whether this is mediated by social functioning and whether they report greater non-treatment. METHOD: We analysed data from the English 2014 Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey using regression models, with the Clinical Interview Schedule-Revised (CIS-R) score as the primary outcome and self-reported hearing and vision impairment as exposures. A secondary outcome was self-reported receipt of mental health diagnosis and treatment. We used structural equation modelling to assess for mediation by social functioning. RESULTS: A total of 19.0% of people with hearing impairment, and 30.9% and 24.5% with distance and near visual impairments, respectively, had clinically significant psychological morbidity. Adjusted mean CIS-R score was 1.86 points higher in people with hearing impairment compared with those without (95% CI 1.30–2.42, P<0.001). People with distance and near vision impairment had mean CIS-R scores 3.61 (95% CI 2.58–4.63, P<0.001) and 2.74 (95% CI 2.12–3.37, P<0.001) points higher, respectively, than those without. Social functioning accounted for approximately 50% of these relationships between sensory impairment and psychological morbidity. We found no evidence of an increased treatment gap for people with sensory impairment. CONCLUSIONS: Social functioning, a potentially modifiable target, may mediate an association between sensory impairment and depressive and anxiety symptoms. |
