Article Abstract Because this piece does not have an abstract, we have provided for your benefit the first 3 sentences of the full text. In this issue of the Journal, the article "Reductions in Quality of Life Associated With Common Mental Disorders: Results From a Nationally Representative Sample" by Penner-Goeke and colleagues examines losses in quality of life (QoL) years associated with common mental and physical disorders in the large (US) sample of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC). The authors were especially interested in assessing the impact of personality disorders on QoL, since personality disorders have rarely been studied in comparison to other disorders in community populations. The NESARC Wave 2 sample is very large (N = 34,533), thus enabling examination of the impact of many variables on QoL simultaneously.
