Overnight Urge Perception in Nocturia Is Independent of Depression, PTSD, or Anxiety in a Male Veterans Administration Population

Mental health factors had a substantial, albeit minimal, effect. Most nocturia reflects urgency to urinate rather than voiding by convenience.Citation:Monaghan TF, Bliwise DL, Suss NR, Epstein MR, Wu ZD, Michelson KP, Agudelo CW, Robins DJ, Wagg A, Weiss JP.
