Purpose:
This study examined the prevalence of major depression and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in pregnant women with and without a diagnosis of oligohydramnios.
Design And Methods:
The study sample included 53 pregnant women with a diagnosis of oligohydramnios and 80 healthy pregnant women subjects. Major depression and GAD were diagnosed with the Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (SCID-I).
Findings:
Pregnant women with oligohydramnios had higher scores of depressive and anxiety symptom, and a higher prevalence rate of major depression (24.5% vs. 6.2%) and GAD (30.2% vs. 3.2%).
Practice Implications:
The results of the present study suggest that oligohydramnios appears to be associated with both major depression and GAD in pregnant women.
