HealthDay (9/17, Preidt) reports a study of over 2,000 women who underwent hysterectomies but did not undergo removal of the ovaries “found they had about a 7% increased risk of depression and a 5% increased risk of anxiety over 30 years.” Women who were between 18 and 35 at the time of the procedure “had the highest (12%) risk of depression, according to the study,” published in Menopause.
