What 602 Pakistani University Students Taught Us About Depression, Anxiety and Stress

A study of 602 Lahore undergraduates found higher depression and anxiety scores in non-medical students, while gender, sleep and history also mattered.
Our Pakistani study of 602 university students examined PHQ-9 and DASS-21 scores, reliability, symptom patterns, and differences by discipline.
PHQ-9 and DASS-21 both performed well in our Pakistani student study, but they measure different aspects of mental health and are not interchangeable.
New Pakistani evidence shows depression, anxiety and stress affect students across disciplines, challenging assumptions about who is most at risk.
A Pakistani university study found strong overlap between DASS-21 depression, anxiety and stress, raising important questions about subscale interpretation.
Pakistani student data supported the DASS-21 three-factor structure, but very high factor correlations raise questions about how distinct the scales are.
