BACKGROUND: Individuals in lower socio-economic groups have an increased prevalence of common mental disorders. AIMS: To investigate the longitudinal association between socio-economic position and common mental disorders in a general population sample in the UK. METHOD: Participants (n=2406) were assessed at two time points 18 months apart with the Revised Clinical Interview Schedule. The sample was stratified into two cohorts according to mental health status at baseline. RESULTS: None of the socio-economic indicators studied was significantly associated with an episode of common mental disorder at follow-up after adjusting for baseline psychiatric morbidity. The analysis of separate diagnostic categories showed that subjective financial difficulties at baseline were independently associated with depression at follow-up in both cohorts. CONCLUSIONS: These findings support the view that apart from objective measures of socio-economic position, more subjective measures might be equally important from an aetiological or clinical perspective.
