Global, regional, and national burden of depressive disorders among women of childbearing age, 1990–2021: a joinpoint regression analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
Our study provides accurate age-standardized estimates, facilitating effective comparisons across different regions. We found a sharp increase in the global burden of depressive disorders among WCBA in almost all countries and regions after 2019, highlighting an urgent need for governments to develop flexible health policies to mitigate the escalating threat of depressive disorders in this demographic.
