Article Abstract

•Using migration of Venezuelans to Peru as a case example, we surveyed migrants on mental health and migration factors at the Ecuador-Peru border.• No factors associated with anxiety; choosing Peru for safety or expected respect for Venezuelans increased odds of depression.• Walking and education increased odds of anxiety; choosing Peru decreased odds of anxiety; being pregnant increased odds of depression.•Link between migration factors and mental health is concerning, as the associated distress may influence post-migration mental health.•More work is needed to understand the influence of the journey on the mental health outcomes of migrants over time.

Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent mental illness in Australia and are more common in women relative to men, as well as transgender and gender diverse people relative to cisgender people. Sex and gender differences in anxiety prevalence are likely driven by a combination of factors including differential exposure to different types of stressors and trauma, gendered enculturation of different coping responses and perceived stigma of mental illness, differences in medical comorbidities, and differences in symptom presentations. The established impact of gonadal hormone changes on anxiety risk and symptom presentation across the female lifespan underscore the need for sex- and gender-responsive management of anxiety disorders.
