Description
Anup Talukder and three co-authors surveyed in 2025 the mental health of women with polycystic ovary syndrome in Bangladesh. The hormone disorder is common in women of childbearing age, and mental care often lags in poorer countries. The team sampled 212 women and diagnosed the syndrome by standard criteria. Screens measured depression, anxiety, stress, and poor sleep.
About half the women met the syndrome criteria, and rates of each distress measure ran near or above half. Women with the syndrome showed more distress than those without it. Rural women met the criteria more often and reported more anxiety and poor sleep. Meeting more of the criteria raised the odds of distress further. The authors urge joint checks of body and mind in care for this group.
