Depression and anxiety symptoms among Nepali women: a dose–response analysis of emotional abuse and coercive control
Psychological IPV-including emotional abuse and coercive control-has a strong, cumulative effect on women's mental health and remains underrecognized in clinical protocol and public health policies. Male partner alcohol use further amplifies this risk. Integrated IPV-mental health-alcohol interventions, grounded in syndemic and trauma-informed frameworks, are urgently needed in Nepal's primary health care systems.
