Depressive symptoms in women with urinary incontinence: a prospective study.
In this prospective study, the incidence of depression in women who suffer from urinary incontinence (UI) is examined. Although the literature has confounding information directly linking depression to UI, this study revealed depression was significantly higher in women with UI as opposed to their counterparts without UI.
