How to Use:
Syntax :
Map<String, Set<String>> STATES_BY_COUNTRYCODE= DependencyForPicklistApex.getFieldDependencies('ObjectName', 'ControllingFieldAPIName','DependentFieldAPIName');

Example : 
static final Map<String, Set<String>> STATES_BY_COUNTRYCODE= DependencyForPicklistApex.getFieldDependencies('Account', 'BillingCountryCode','BillingStateCode');


Note : In Account Object BillingCountry is the Controlling Field for BillingState.

With the little modification this code can work for BillingCountry instead of  BillingCountryCode.

Before that release, upgrade your flows to run on API version 59.0 or later to take advantage of reactive components. Build Screen Flows with Reactive Global Variables Save time by referencing global variables in reactive formulas on flow screens. Use custom labels in reactive formulas to display translatable text to your users. For example, create a custom setting called DiscountPercentage, which specifies org, profile, and user discount percentages. Reference the variable in reactive formulas across a screen flow. The screen flow applies the correct discount value for the user running the flow and recalculates the value as the user makes changes.   Build Screen Flows with Reactive Selections Use choice components to respond to user selections elsewhere on the same screen. For example, on a flow screen used fo
