Description
Fatemeh Majdolashrafi and colleagues map anxiety rates across the provinces of Iran for 2010 to 2021, in a 2026 ecological study. Age standardized rates came from a global health database, analyzed for space and time patterns. Anxiety disorders rank as the second leading cause of mental health disability worldwide.
Iran's rate rose by about 176 per hundred thousand people over the period, outpacing global trends. Women recorded higher incidence than men throughout. Southeastern provinces showed the highest rates in both sexes. One northern province emerged as a hotspot in the later years. Targeted mental health resources for high risk provinces are the practical takeaway.
