Patients with grade 1 OSMF were found to be undergoing mild depression, mild anxiety and severe stress. The interpretation for grade 4 OSMF patients showed that they were suffering from severe depression, extremely severe anxiety and moderate stress. All these 3 psychological conditions, if present together have a hazardous impact on the systemic health of the individual and therefore the treatment of OSMF should consist of psychological and / or psychiatric intervention as well.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Coastal Life Medicine}, author={Hitesh Vadera and Deval Mehta and Ramita Sood and Divya Jain}, year={2023}, month={Jan.}, pages={3150–3156} }
