The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and severity of anxiety and depression symptoms, the level of ego-resiliency, and the ways that women with PCOS cope with stress compared to healthy women in order to determine the influence of socio-demographic characteristics in relation to levels of anxiety and depression with ego-resiliency and stress-coping methods. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in Poland in 2021 and included 230 women with PCOS and 199 healthy controls aged 20\u201340 years old. The hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADs), ego-resiliency scale, as well as the MINI-COPE inventory were used. Results: The women with PCOS had higher levels of anxiety and depression and poorer ego-resiliency in comparison to the healthy women. The women with PCOS used passive stress-coping strategies significantly more commonly than the healthy women. Living in rural areas, having a lower level of education and being childless increased anxiety levels. Similarly, being over 30, living in a rural area, having a lower level of education, being childless, and being obese increased depression levels in the women with PCOS. A low level of ego-resiliency and passive stress-coping strategies are predictors of high levels of anxiety and depression in women with PCOS. Conclusions: Women with PCOS should be checked for anxiety and depression. They should also be checked to see whether they have the resources to cope with chronic stress in order to optimize therapeutic interventions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina58070942","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,17]],"date-time":"2022-07-17T22:57:06Z","timestamp":1658098626000},"page":"942","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["Anxiety and Depression in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"58","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9698-665X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pawe\u0142","family":"Dybciak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Plastic Surgery and Advanced Laser & Skincare Aesthetics, \u201cThe Clinic\u201d Warsaw, Krochmalna 59A Street, 00-864 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ewa","family":"Humeniuk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair and Department of Psychology, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Medical University of Lublin, Chodzki 7 Street, 20-400 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3517-6711","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dorota","family":"Raczkiewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Statistics, School of Public Health, Centre of Postgraduate Medical Education, Kleczewska 61\/63 Street, 01-826 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3435-9658","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan","family":"Krakowiak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social Medicine, Medical University of Lodz, \u017beligowskiego 7\/9 Street, 90-752 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7011-2345","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Artur","family":"Wdowiak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chair of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Medical University of Lublin, Staszica 4-6 Street, 20-081 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3171-225X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iwona","family":"Bojar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Women\u2019s Health, Institute of Rural Health in Lublin, Jaczewskiego 2 Street, 20-090 Lublin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"223","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpag.2011.03.002","article-title":"Prevalence of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in Indian Adolescents","volume":"24","author":"Nidhi","year":"2011","journal-title":"J.
