Core Tip	Depression and anxiety are common but underrecognized in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Routine mental health screening, timely psychosocial interventions, and integration of psychiatric care within ophthalmology can improve overall patient outcomes and quality of life. This systematic review synthesizes current evidence on the prevalence, correlates, and management of depression and anxiety among individuals with AMD.
