Description
Jahar Bhowmik, Lakma Gunarathne, and Raaj Kishore Biswas studied mental health among married women in Bangladesh in 2026. Women there face anxiety and low mood at high rates but seek care far less often than men. The team used a large national survey to ask how many women show signs yet lack a diagnosis.
About one in three women reported signs of anxiety or low mood with no diagnosis on record. Rates varied by region. More schooling, internet access, and household wealth were linked to lower risk. Media exposure and views that accept violence were linked to higher risk. The authors call for better health teaching in the areas with the most missed cases.
