在堪培拉登记寻求全职工作的16-24岁人群中，有19%（401人）完成了精神病筛查。由精神科医生检查加权子样本（n 72）。筛查仪器显示，56%为可能病例。通过将精神科医生的检查结果与筛查工具上的分数相结合，患有严重精神障碍的比例估计为49%。四分之三是抑郁症。他们平均患病10个月。在70%的病例中，他们的疾病是在失业后开始的。在这些国家中，有一半以上的国家除了失业本身之外，没有任何其他近期压力的证据。从失业到精神失常发作的中间时间是5个月。
A sample of 19% (n401) of people aged 16–24 years registered as seeking full-time employment in Canberra, completed a psychiatric screening instrument. A weighted subsample (n72) was examined by a psychiatrist. The screening instrument showed that 56% were probable cases. By harnessing the results of the psychiatrist's examination to the scores on the screening instrument, the proportion with severe psychiatric disorder was estimated to be 49%. Three-quarters were cases of depression. They had been ill for 10 months on average. In 70% of cases, the onset of their disorder followed unemployment. In more than half of these there was no evidence of any other recent stress apart from unemployment itself. The median time between unemployment and the onset of disorder was five months.
