Abstract
Aim: This study is aimed to assess, for the first time the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and associated psychological disorders among women at reproductive age from a state in southeastern US. Results: Collected data from 166,748 females (19-45 years) showed 1.4% (95% CI: 1.32-1.44) prevalence of PCOS in women seen in UMMC clinics during the period of study. Almost 51% of patients with PCOS suffered from one or more psychological disorders; anxiety 21% (95% CI: 19.3-22.6), depression 20% (95% CI: 18.9-22.1), ADHD 3.2% (95% CI: 2.6-4.0), bipolar disorder 2.5% (95% CI: 1.9-3.2). In addition, prevalence values suggest a positive correlation between obesity, anxiety, and depression in PCOS Patients.
