* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01; SD (standard deviation); †† (headcount); CI, confidence interval; Reference group for household characteristics (female household head, rural residence, and more than primary education). All estimates are based on OLS regression of change in outcome variables, controlling for covariates. Coefficient of a specific disorder (SMDs or depression) is from a separate OLS regression
