dc.description.abstract | Depression is a serious mental disability that is more prone to occur in women than
men. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of saffron on depression in
women with specific diseases such as postmenopause, perimenopause, overweight, and
breast cancer. Especially whether it can be used as a safer treatment than the standard
treatments, can reduce the symptoms of depression, and improve quality of life. The
method of this study was conducting a strategic search in PubMed and Google Scholar
to collect relevant articles published between 2004 and 2024. After the total screening
process, 4 clinical trial articles related to women in depression with specific diseases
were selected. The results showed that saffron significantly reduced symptoms of
depression and improved quality of life among postmenopausal women,
perimenopausal women, overweight women, and women with breast cancer. However,
more studies including long-term investigations are needed to prove firmly the efficacy
of saffron on depression in women. | en_US |
