Depression is a prevalent mental healthcare problem and a common cause of disability worldwide.
The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of depression in individuals living in the UAE.
We used a systematic review approach, searching PubMed and Scopus electronic databases to collect studies conducted between 2007 and 2017 on the UAE population (both citizens and expatriates) relating to depression.
After evaluating and screening relevant articles, a review of 14 articles was conducted.
The prevalence of depression and study populations varied widely across studies with some including students and workers and others limited to those with diabetes.
The most common contributing factors were female sex, financial difficulties/ low socioeconomic status, stressful life events, lack of social support, serious or chronic illness (e.g., diabetes, obesity, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis), and a history of eating disorders.
Vitamin D deficiency was also highlighted as a risk factor for seasonal depression.
Even though previous evidence has promulgated the role of numerous causative factors, the epidemiological studies including risk factors such as personal or family history of depression, low academic performance, and the use of alcohol remain lacking.
Further research is needed to identify effective strategies for treating and preventing depression in the future.
