Those diagnosed with depression in life (PR=2.23 95%CI 1.70;2.91) and who had consumed alcohol in the last week were more likely to refer lifetime psychological violence (PR=1.53 95%CI 1.07;2.17). Single women were more likely to experience psychological violence in their lives than married women (PR=1.86 95%CI 1.32;2.63).Conclusion:
