PURPOSE This study examined the prevalence of major depression and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in pregnant women with and without a diagnosis of oligohydramnios. DESIGN AND METHODS The study sample included 53 pregnant women with a diagnosis of oligohydramnios and 80 healthy pregnant women subjects. Major depression and GAD were diagnosed with the Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders , Fourth Edition (SCID‐I). FINDINGS Pregnant women with oligohydramnios had higher scores of depressive and anxiety symptom, and a higher prevalence rate of major depression (24.5% vs. 6.2%) and GAD (30.2% vs. 3.2%). PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS The results of the present study suggest that oligohydramnios appears to be associated with both major depression and GAD in pregnant women.
