    TLDR People with polycystic ovary syndrome often experience anxiety and depression.
    In a cross-sectional observational study conducted 5 years ago, patients diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) were assessed for anxiety and depression. The study, conducted in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of a tertiary care hospital, found a prevalence of anxiety in 36% of the patients and depression in 16% of the patients. The high prevalence of these psychiatric co-morbidities was attributed to the symptoms of PCOS.
