Results: The prevalence of depressive disorder among middle-aged women was 28.9%. Depression was significantly associated with marital status, economic condition, risk factors, alcohol use, menopausal symptoms, family history of depression, level of social/family/community support, and chronic diseases.

Conclusion: Depression was significantly associated with marital status, alcohol use, family history of depression, menopausal symptoms, and chronic conditions, while social support played a protective role. No association was found with age group or place of residence.
