The most prevalent disorders were obsessive\u2013compulsive disorder (8.2%, 95% CI 5.7\u201311.3) and generalised anxiety disorder (5.7%, 95% CI 3.7\u20138.4). The majority of women with anxiety disorders did not want professional help or treatment (79.8%). Most women with anxiety disorders who did want treatment (20.2%) were receiving treatment. The majority of participants with anxiety disorders had a history of mental health problems (64.6%).<\/jats:p>\n\t  <\/jats:sec>\n\t  <jats:sec id=\"S2056472424008238_sec_a5\" sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n\t    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n\t    <jats:p>Prevalence rates overall are consistent with previous research, lending validity to the findings.
