Prevalence of mental health disorders and their association with chronic physical diseases in Kuwait
This study revealed a substantial burden of mental health disorders, with depression showing significant associations with multiple chronic physical diseases. However, causal inferences cannot be drawn from this cross-sectional design. These findings are hypothesis-generating and highlight the need for further research on systematic mental health monitoring in secondary care populations.
