Prevalence of psychiatric disorders in gynecologic outpatients

Risk factors for psychiatric disorders in infertile women and men undergoing in vitro fertilization treatment

“…Before IVF, 11.6% of women reported depressive symptoms according to the BDI; the frequency increased to 25.4% after failed IVF (8). However, it must be emphasized that the prevalence rates of depression and/or anxiety disorders among infertile women undergoing IVF in the present study are similar to what has been found in unselected gynecologic outpatients, where 30.5% had any psychiatric disorder and 10% had major depression (9). Hence, compared with patients in gynecologic practice, depression and/or anxiety disorders do not appear to be more common in infertile women.…”

Correlation Study of Knowledge and Behavior Regarding Breast Care among Female Undergraduate Students in China

“…In addition, the evidence from epidemiological studies (Brennan et al, 2010;Gao et al, 2013) showed that healthy diet and lifestyle can prevent breast cancer. Long time unhealthy mental status or emotional tension for long time could result in a series of gynecological diseases in female (Sundström et al, 2001). It should be noted that only 62.98% of students in our study confirmed that the emotions and the mental pressure could impact on the breast health.…”

The association between nonsuicidal self-injury and the emotional disorders: A meta-analytic review

“…Specifically, a majority (53%) of included studies from clinical settings reported that over half of the sample was diagnosed with an emotional disorder, compared to only 15% of studies from nonclinical settings. It is possible that in clinical settings, where mood and anxiety disorders are relatively common (e.g., Brown, Campbell, Lehman, Grisham, & Mancill, 2001;Kunik et al, 2005;Sundström, Bixo, Björn, & Åström, 2001), a more substantial proportion of individuals may seek help for anxiety and mood symptoms but have no NSSI history. In comparison, in school or community settings, where emotional disorders may be less prevalent (e.g., Alonso et al, 2004), a smaller proportion of individuals may meet anxiety or mood disorder diagnostic criteria but deny prior NSSI.…”
