Patients who were registered at from an institution of higher education but did not have an open medical record in their name, or who had incomplete medical records, were excluded. Results: Women in adulthood, married, from Teresina – PI, diagnosed with anxiety and depression and undergoing pharmacological treatment based on sertraline, fluoxetine, and alprazolam showed the highest incidence in the years studied.
