Prevalence of depression and anxiety in polycystic ovarian syndrome women - Vol.16(5) - Bhopal Innovare Academic Sciences Pvt Ltd 2024 - 67-71p.

Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of depression and anxiety ranges in women having Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).

Methods: An epidemiological observational study on 80 PCOS patients confirmed through ultrasound scanning over a study period of 6 mo at Government General Hospital, RIMS, KADAPA. HAM-D and HAM-A assessment scales were used to analyze the severity of depression and anxiety in PCOS women.

Results: Among 80 patients, the prevalence of depression is 86.25% (n=69) and anxiety is 93.75% (n=75). Among 69 depressed patients 38 mild, 28 moderate, and 3 severe ranges were noted. Among 75 patients with anxiety, 52 mild, 18 moderate, and 5 severe ranges were noted. The age of the patient does not show a major difference in the development of depression and anxiety. PCOS women who married and have children (n=45) were mostly affected with depression (n=39) and anxiety (n=43). Menstrual irregularity in PCOS patients with depression and anxiety is majorly seen among those who have last menstrual between 30–60 d. Middle-income patients were affected by depression and anxiety greatly, according to this study.

Conclusion: We conclude that the prevalence rate of depression and anxiety is greater in PCOS patients.
