India has an opportunity to study the association between ACE exposure and internalizing symptoms (depression and anxiety). To evaluate the association between exposure to ACE and internalizing symptoms (depression and anxiety) at a wellness centre in India.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and Material:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross-sectional study studied a convenience sample of 909 individuals who self-assessed ACE exposure, depression (Major Depression Inventory: MDI), and anxiety levels (Generalized Anxiety Disorder: GAD-7).
