Conclusion and recommendations: Symptoms of anxiety and depression were highly reported among this sample of pregnant Egyptian women and were significantly associated with exposure to intimate partner violence. Screening of pregnant women for mental disorders associated with exposure to DV with provision of supportive mental health services, as well as interventions to reduce exposure to DV, should be considered for integration into antenatal care services.
