Depression among chronic arsenic exposure patients in Shampur Upazila, Rajshahi

Multiple studies suggest that as a toxicant arsenic can adversely affect the growth of human brain and neural functions even when it is present with a permissible limit. This study suggests a hypothesis that four to eight weeks of sub-chronic arsenic exposure (10u2009mg/L arsenic in drinking water) can cause or increase anxiety and depression-like behaviours. This cross-sectional comparative study was carried out among the 54 participants of Shampur Upazila, Rajshahi, Bangladesh. The study was conducted between 2019 to 2022. The depression levels were assessed using Zung depression scale.
