Risk of depressive disorders in women undergoing hysterectomy: A population-based follow-up study
2015, Journal of Psychiatric ResearchCitation Excerpt :For instance, depression, is considered the most common psychiatric risk after hysterectomy (Naughton and McBee, 1997). The term “post-hysterectomy syndrome” was coined by Richards in the 1970s; he reported that 70% of patients who underwent hysterectomy–oophorectomy met the criteria for depression, compared to 30% of women in a surgical control group (Richards, 1974). However, the findings of studies conducted during those years assessing the potential influence of hysterectomy on mood are inconsistent.
