Prevalence and risk of depressive disorders in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
This comparative cross-sectional study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome are at a significantly higher risk of depression compared with non-PCOS women. The study fails to find enough evidence to explain the high prevalence of depression among PCOS patients by the selected sociodemographic, clinical, and biochemical parameters.
