The diagnosis of BBD was established on the basis of ultrasonography, fine needle aspiration cytology, and\/or histopathology. For the diagnosis of anxiety and depression, BPHQ was used and the level of anxiety and depression was measured using the HADS. The questionnaire at both prediagnosis and at follow-up assessment after 3 months was done.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n On comparing anxiety and depression using BPHQ score among cases and controls, both were significantly associated with cases than controls (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001 and\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.0016, respectively). On comparing anxiety and depression using HADS score, there was a significant difference (median) in both anxiety and depression level between cases and controls (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001 and\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001, respectively). After 3 months of follow-up, there was a significant improvement in anxiety and depression scores by both BPHQ (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.007 and\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.0016) and HADS (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001 and\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001). The 3-month follow-up data showed a significant improvement in BPHQ (depression) score in patients with breast lump and mastalgia (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.001 and\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.008). The HADS (anxiety score) showed significant improvement in patients presenting with diseases\/aberrations other than fibroadenoma while the HADS (depression) score showed a significant improvement in all except fibroadenosis present either alone or along with fibroadenoma. The HADS (depression) score showed a significant improvement in fibroadenoma, others group, breast lump, and mastalgia (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.040,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.005,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001, and\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.025, respectively).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n Indian female patients who present with BBDs are also affected
