“…This study found that gender, age, and marital status had no association with depression and anxiety, in agreement with studies by 18,19,28 In addition, the sample size of this study is sufficiently large to explore the prevalence and risk factors in comparison with other studies. 7…”

“…28 Lindfors et al also suggest that social support is a predictor of the outcome of depressive and anxiety disorders. In contrast, weaker social support was a risk factor of depression and anxiety among PWE, especially anxiety, relating to a previous study showing that depression is correlated to PWE with weaker social support.…”

PWE have a high prevalence of depression and anxiety in rural West China, which may be impacting their quality of life. PWE with depression and anxiety got a worse quality of life, and depression had a greater impact on quality of life for PWE than anxiety. The risk factors of depression and anxiety include seizure frequency and social support, while annual income is an additional risk factor of depression. Identifying risk factors early may be helpful in the timely management of these symptoms.

“…The Chinese version of the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) developed by Xiao ShuiYuan in 1994, was used to assess the individuals’ social support status. The SSRS consists of 10 items involving three dimensions, namely, objective support (3 items), subjective support (4 items), and support utilization (3 items) 40 . The total score on the SSRS ranges from 12 to 66, including objective support (range: 1–22), subjective support (range: 8–32) and support usage (range: 3–12).…”

Several studies have shown that dysmenorrhea increased the risk of depression. However, the association between dysmenorrhea and postpartum depression (PPD) is unclear. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of dysmenorrhea on the development of PPD among Chinese women. A case-control study was performed on parturients who delivered from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2016, at Bao an Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Shenzhen, China. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to screen for maternal postpartum depression. Logistic regression models were used to examine the association between dysmenorrhea and the risk of PPD. A total of 360 women including 120 cases and 240 controls were enrolled. Our study showed that parturients with PPD had a higher percentage of dysmenorrhea than women without PPD (64.2% vs 47.9%, P = 0.004). In univariate analysis, we observed that dysmenorrhea increased the risk for PPD (OR = 1.95; 95% CI: 1.24–3.06; P = 0.004). In the fully adjusted model, dysmenorrhea was still significantly associated with an increased risk of PPD (OR = 2.45; 95% CI: 1.36–4.54; P = 0.003). Our data confirmed that dysmenorrhea may be a risk factor for PPD. Therefore, screening for postpartum depression should be considered in parturients with a history of dysmenorrhea.
