Association of religiosity on anxiety and depressive symptoms in the Brazilian population: A cross-sectional study
The relationship between religiosity, anxiety, and depression appears to be more influential in shaping the perception of depression among men and the perception of anxiety among women. Therefore, the practice of religiosity should not be discouraged and has the potential to be a complementary therapeutic intervention strategy.
