[...]relationships between Ul and depression have not been adequately assessed for specific patient groups. [...]we investigated the association between Ul and depression severity in patients treated for depression. In women, Ul was associated with the severity of depression. Because Ul and depression may coexist and share the symptom burden, particularly in women, clinicians should be aware of the interconnection between these two conditions. [...]Ul may induce symptoms of depression. To evaluate differences between two groups, we used Student's t-test (or Welch test in the absence of variance homogeneity) or Mann-Whitney U test (if the Student's t-test could not be applied or for variables measured on the ordinal scale).
