The risk of developing depression in tuberculosis survivors: a nationwide cohort study in South Korea
Tuberculosis survivors had a higher risk of developing depression compared to the control group. Although the prevalence of depression was higher in women compared to men, the risk of developing depression was higher in male tuberculosis survivors than in the control group, in contrast to the findings in women. The risk of developing depression in tuberculosis survivors differed depending on the anti-tuberculosis drug used and was mainly high in most of the second-line anti-tuberculosis drugs.
