Abstract
⺠Consistent evidence of secular increases in mental illness or declines in mental well-being in western societies is lacking. ⺠It is essential when examining data on trends in mental health and illness to analyse the measures used. ⺠The tendency to see mental illness as increasing is encouraged by the expanding boundaries of psychiatric disorder.
