This Article supports SDG 3 by analysing 40 studies from Latin America to find a lifetime prevalence of depressive disorder in this region of 12.6%, and a current prevalence of 3.1%. The authors note that after adjusting for income and using the same inclusion criteria and assessment methods, these estimates may be higher than global estimates provided by previous systematic reviews; however, more mental health research is needed in the region to generate more definitive conclusions.
