First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study reviews medical records of adults treated at a wound care clinic to see how many also have signs of depression, using a standard questionnaire called the PHQ-9. The goal is to measure how common depression is in this group and identify factors linked to it. The findings could help clinics better recognize and address mental health needs in people with chronic wounds.
