The paper studied the relationship between endometriosis occurrence and psychological distress in women, using a qualitative approach with 11 women undergoing their first outpatient care at an endometriosis clinic in a reference maternity hospital in Fortaleza, Ceará (Sept 2016–Jan 2017). Data were collected via narrative interviews and analyzed by extracting a category after careful reading and transcription. Findings highlighted that persistent health service seeking for disabling pain, delays in diagnosis and intervention, and frustration/stress reactions contributed to mood changes, while psychological factors such as mood changes and anxiety continued to influence health states even after diagnosis and treatment initiation. The paper concludes that quality of life and the interplay between physical, psychological, and social limitations should be incorporated, but it does not explicitly state limitations of the qualitative design or sample size within the provided text. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it examines how endometriosis is linked to psychological distress and mood changes through women’s narratives.
