Higher Risk of Mental Illness in Patients With Diagnosed and Untreated Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysm: Findings From a Nationwide Cohort Study

Clinicians treating cerebral aneurysms should be aware that the psychological burden caused by the diagnosis of UIA itself could contribute to mental illness and strive to provide comprehensive care for these patients.
