Association between autism diagnosis rates and adolescent depression: A population-based study in Sweden
The study's observational nature limits causal inferences, but findings reveal that higher primary diagnosis rates of ASD-R correlate with lower primary diagnosis rates of MDD in adolescents of both sexes, although more pronounced in males. These results highlight the importance of further research on the relationship between ASD-R and MDD diagnosis rates, emphasizing the need for prospective, longitudinal, and individualized register data that include both primary and co-diagnoses.
