Depression was observed in 23.7% of respondents, categorized as mild (80.4%), moderate (16.5%), or severe (3.1%) based on PHQ\u20109 scores. Factors influencing depression included age 50 years or older, religion, education level, full\u2010time employment, marital status, family contact, use of anti\u2010inflammatory drugs, hospital admission due to COVID\u201019, chronic diseases, hypertension, and post\u2010COVID\u201019 symptoms (shortness of breath, palpitations, fatigue, headache, abdominal pain, brain fog, insomnia, and loss of appetite).
