Prevalence of common mental disorders and associated factors among pregnant women attending antenatal care at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia, 2023

This study indicated that the prevalence of CMDs was high among pregnant women attending antenatal care at the UoG CSH. Those who had financial instability, poor social support, emotional or physical abuse, history of mental illness, and unwanted pregnancy were prone to CMDs. Therefore, early screening and monitoring of CMDs among pregnant women are important to reduce possible negative impacts on the health of women.
