The association between different levels of depression and overactive bladder: A cross-sectional study of the 2005-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

This study indicated different levels of depression, even mild depression, were independent risk factors for OAB. Given the frequent coexistence and potential interactions between depression and OAB, clinicians should be aware of the importance of assessing both physical and psychological symptoms in these patients. Early diagnosis and holistic treatment may improve the treatment outcomes, particularly for those suffering from both conditions.
