Overview

Observational study maps symptom severity and structures in telemental healthcare patients, suggesting targeted interventions.

Key Points

  • This study aims to map the symptom severity and interrelationships between depressive and anxiety symptoms in patients seeking telemental healthcare.
  • Conducted an observational study among 4,900 patients attending telemental healthcare in Bangladesh from January 2023 to July 2024.
  • Assessed symptoms using PHQ-9 for depression and GAD-7 for anxiety, applying exploratory factor analysis and network analysis.
  • 84% screened positive for depressive symptoms and 85% for anxiety symptoms.
  • Factor analysis identified 'depressed mood' and 'anhedonia' as core depressive features, while 'uncontrollable worry' and 'nervousness' were core anxiety features.
  • 'Uncontrollable worrying' had the highest centrality in network analysis, linking depression and anxiety symptoms.
