goals of this study were to estimate the prevalence of depressive disorders in
women with PCOS compared with controls and to evaluate the correlation between
depression, hyperandrogenism, and other metabolic markers. Women with PCOS
were at an increased risk for depressive disorders (new cases) compared with
controls (21% vs. 3%). Compared with the non-depressed PCOS subjects, the
depressed PCOS subjects had a higher body mass index (BMI) and evidence of
insulin resistance. The study concluded that there is a significantly
increased risk of depressive disorders in women with PCOS and recommend routine
screening in this population.
