However, limited evidence exists on the symptom\u2010level structure and statistical interrelations of these conditions among bereaved individuals, particularly in low\u2010 and middle\u2010income countries (LMICs).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using nationally representative data from the 2022 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS), we identified 2276 bereaved mothers. We applied psychological network analysis to estimate the partial correlation network structure of nine\u2010item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ\u20109) depressive and seven\u2010item Generalized Anxiety Questionnaire (GAD\u20107) anxiety symptoms. Centrality, predictability, and bridge metrics were computed. Network comparison tests (NCTs) assessed structural invariance across bereavement subgroups. Bayesian directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) were used to explore conditional dependency patterns and probabilistic edge orientations among symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The prevalence of probable major depressive disorder (MDD) was 6.69% (95% CI: 5.52\u20137.86). Prevalence estimates were comparable by bereavement recency, with overlapping confidence intervals among mothers bereaved within the past 3 years (5.34%, 95% CI: 3.06\u20139.15) and those bereaved more than 3 years earlier (6.83%, 95% CI: 5.69\u20138.19). The symptom network revealed interconnected domains corresponding to anxiety and depression symptoms. Trouble relaxing and psychomotor disturbance showed the highest strength centrality, while suicidal ideation exhibited the highest predictability in the network. Bridge centrality analysis identified feeling afraid, sadness, irritability, and psychomotor disturbance as the strongest cross\u2010domain connectors linking anxiety and depression symptoms. Bayesian DAG analysis indicated strong conditional dependencies among worry\u2010related anxiety symptoms, while psychomotor disturbance showed a strong conditional association with suicidal ideation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study offers novel symptom\u2010level insights into bereavement\u2010related anxiety and depression among mothers in Bangladesh. The observed symptom patterns are consistent with enduring depressive and anxiety symptoms rather than acute grief alone. Symptom\u2010focused approaches targeting central and bridge symptoms may support more efficient screening and scalable intervention strategies in bereaved populations.<\/jats:p>\n
