Prevalence and correlates of anxiety and depression among ever-married reproductive-aged women in Bangladesh: national-level insights from the 2022 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey
This study reveals a high prevalence of anxiety among ever-married reproductive-aged women and highlights that anxiety and depression are not clustered among disadvantageous groups like less educated, less autonomous, rural, and poor women. Anxiety and depression are rather associated with late reproductive age, religious affiliation, marital factors, and region.
