Decline of depressive symptoms in Europe: differential trends across the lifespan

ConclusionsBurden of depressive symptoms decreased in most European countries between 2006 and 2014.

Future studies should investigate the mechanisms that contribute to these overall and differential changes over time in depressive symptoms.
