Mapping comorbid depression and anxiety in Southwest China's ethnic minorities areas: A population-based latent profile and network analysis of 58,739 individuals

This study identified three patterns of depression-anxiety comorbidity in adolescents and two in adults. Efforts should prioritize adolescents from "other" ethnic minorities, strengthening family and peer support, as well as smoking and drinking interventions for adolescents, and addressing social isolation, physical health, and catastrophizing cognition in adults may mitigate the comorbidity burden.
