In the present study, the comorbidity of physical and mental health
problems in Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), a mountainous society under the three
highest mountain ranges of Pakistan, was assessed. It was hypothesized
that there would be comorbidity between physical and mental health
problems in GB. To test the research hypothesis 256 (113 men & 143
women) patients with various physical complaints were assessed for their
mental health problems using mental health inventory. Study findings
through the application of one sample t-test revealed that women during
their pregnancy reported higher level of mental health issues and patients
with headaches were also prone to develop anxiety symptoms. Patients
with other physical complaints such as; stomach issues, dental issues,
visual problems, cardiac issues, and anemia reflected a good level of
mental health. The gender of participants also tended to influence their
mental health that is women reported more anxiety, depression, and loss
of behavioral/emotional control when compared with men. Therefore, it is
recommended to address the factors, which lead women to develop
psychological problems generally and during their pregnancy particularly.
