Abstract
In recent years, research on TB multimorbidity has increasingly focused on integrated care delivery, particularly concerning common mental disorders (CMDs). Engagement with relevant stakeholders, including service users and providers, has highlighted the critical intersection of TB and CMD, which affects a substantial percentage of individuals. Studies have found that depression affects approximately 45% of TB patients, and anxiety affects around 40%. Moreover, there is a significant evidence and service gap in delivering CMD care, which emphasises the need for a comprehensive approach to address the dual burden of these health challenges.
