“…Previous studies carried out from 1990 to 2003 revealed anxiety to be around 40-50% and depression around 20% in women, who had experienced a miscarriage 20 . Even though, our finding is comparable with the international literature, a previous study done in Sri Lanka showed lower rates of psychological morbidity, with only 42.4% screening positive for psychological morbidity by the GHQ-30 21 . Previous literature has shown depressive symptoms in 20-50% and anxiety symptoms in 20-40% of women shortly after miscarriage.…”
