Anxiety Depression

Background. HIV patients suffer from anxiety and depression but a formal assessment infrequently happens. Objectives. The study aimed to measure the prevalence of anxiety and depression among HIV patients in UPPhilippine General Hospital. Methods. This study involving 417 HIV-positive patients used the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale – Pilipino version to identify cases, with stepwise regression analysis for correlation. Results. The prevalence of anxiety, depression, and mixed diagnosis was 10.1% (0.072-0.130), 3.1% (0.014-0.048), and 10.8% (0.078-0.138), respectively. Anxiety was correlated with female sex (OR = 7.82, CI 1.03-59.49), unemployment (OR = 1.76, CI 0.90-3.42), smoking (OR = 1.84, CI 0.89-3.79), homosexuality (OR = 7.64, CI 1.36-42.74), and non-use of protective methods during intercourse (OR = 1.81, CI 0.84-3.93). Depression was correlated with unemployment (OR = 2.79, CI 0.91-8.54) and non-disclosure of status (OR = 3.04, CI 0.79-11.67). Mixed diagnosis was correlated to unemployment (OR = 2.09, CI 1.10-3.96), smoking (OR = 2.14, CI 1.08-4.25), homosexuality (OR = 3.14, CI 0.9210.65), and non-use of protective methods during intercourse (OR = 1.65, CI 0.77-3.53). Conclusions. Lower prevalence of anxiety and depression among HIV patients was found in this study compared with other countries. There is, however, a need to allocate resources for screening mental health problems in HIV patients.

Anxiety Depression

Background: Studies have shown that caregivers of the persons with the neurological illness have high levels of psychological distress, depression and caregiver’s burden. The aim of the study was to find out anxiety, depression and caregiver’s burden among the caregivers of persons with neurological illness (PWNI). Method: Thirty caregivers of PWNI attending the Centre of Rehabilitation Sciences, LGB Regional Institute of Mental Health, Tezpur, Assam were selected using purposive sampling technique for the present study. Socio-demographic and clinical data sheet, Zarit Burden Interview Scale and The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used. Results: The results shown that in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, 26.6% of the caregivers' scores were in the abnormal range in the domain of depression. While in the domain of anxiety, 16.6% scored in the abnormal range. In Zarit Burden of Scale, 13.3% of the caregivers were having little or no burden, 26.6% of the caregivers were having mild to moderate level of burden, 20% were having moderate to severe burden and 30% were having a severe burden of care. Care burden has significant positive correlation with depression (r= .124, p≤ 0.01 and anxiety (r= .124, p≤ 0.05). Conclusion: Caregivers of PWNI have been found to be at higher risk of mental health problems and care burden. The importance of addressing the burden of caregivers involved in the care of PWNI need to be taken into consideration while providing treatment and rehabilitation of PWNI.     Keywords: Anxiety, depression, burden, neurological illness

The aim was to analyze the prevalence and overlapping of chronic venous disorders, restless legs syndrome, anxiety and depressive conditions. There were 582 subjects enroll; 450 (77.5%) women and 132 (22.5%) men (mean age 45.0). The examination included a physical exam with ultrasound scanning, restless legs syndrome questionnaire, and the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS). The prevalence of chronic venous disorders was in 82.6% subjects, restless legs syndrome - 13.9%, anxiety - 28% and depression - 8.6%. Chronic venous disorders were more frequent in anxious patients (34%; P<0.05) vs non-anxious (25%; P<0.05). Significant interrelations between chronic venous disorders and depression were not found (P>0.05). Anxiety and depression were significantly more frequent in patients with restless leg syndrome (anxiety 54.3% vs non-anxiety 23.8%, P<0.001; depression 24.7% vs non-depression 6%, P<0.001). There were not relevant interrelations between chronic venous disorders and restless leg syndrome or anxiety/depression. Anxiety and depressive were significantly correlated with restless legs syndrome.

This study retrospectively assessed the prevalence of tinnitus in cochlear implant patients and the changes after implantation in 212 patients implanted between 2000 and 2009. Patients were included at least 6 months after implantation and received 2 sets of questionnaires, one about the situation before implantation and one about the situation after implantation. Mostly standardized questionnaires assessed tinnitus handicap (Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, THI, and Tinnitus Handicap Questionnaire, THQ), tinnitus characteristics, hearing loss (Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit) and anxiety/depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale). Of the approached patients, 117 completed the full sets of questionnaires and 35 completed a short version. Preoperative tinnitus was reported by 51.3% of these patients, of which 55.6% reported a reduction or cessation of their tinnitus after implantation. However, 8.2% of the patients with tinnitus reported a postoperative deterioration of their tinnitus. In addition, among the patients without preoperative tinnitus, 19.6% reported the start of tinnitus after implantation. The self-reported change of tinnitus correlated with the pre- and postoperative scores on the THI and THQ. The THQ showed slightly more changes in scores after cochlear implantation compared to the THI. Overall hearing handicap and feelings of anxiety and depression decreased after implantation. In conclusion, tinnitus is reduced after cochlear implantation in an important part of the patients, but in a small part implantation has a negative effect on tinnitus. When tinnitus starts after implantation, the tinnitus handicap is mild.

The objective of this article is to investigate the effects of intensive patients’ education and lifestyle improving program (IPEL) on anxiety, depression, and overall survival (OS) in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with anxiety and depression. In all, 224 CAD patients with anxiety and depression were randomly assigned to IPEL or control group. In Stage I, the IPEL group received IPEL and usual care, while the control group only received usual care. In Stage II, patients were further followed up and OS analysis was performed. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale–anxiety (HADS-A) and HADS–depression (HADS-D) were used to assess anxiety and depression. IPEL reduced HADS-A score at Month 9 (M9)/M12, and the percentage of anxiety at M12 and HADS-A score changed. IPEL reduced HADS-D score at M12, and the percentage of depression at M12 and HADS-D score changed compared with control. Patients with nonanxiety/nondepression at M12 in the IPEL group showed better OS. IPEL reduces anxiety and depression and improves OS in CAD patients.

Objective: To determine the rates of depression, anxiety, and alcohol abuse, using modern nosology, in a random sample of residents aged 14 to 85 years living in an Arctic community. Method: A cross-sectional 2-step survey of randomly selected households was undertaken, using a self-report questionnaire to screen for anxiety, depression, and alcohol abuse. The survey included the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Ewing and Roose's 4-question alcohol screening instrument (the CAGE questionnaire). Cut-off scores for the HADS and CAGE were found by comparing HADS and CAGE scores with scores on the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-III-R (SCID) in a stratified subs ample. Results: Estimated rates of depression and anxiety were 26.5% and 19.0% respectively within the past week, and estimated rates of lifetime alcohol abuse were 30.5%. Conclusions: The estimated prevalence of psychiatric disorders in this Arctic community is higher than that indicated in previous findings on Native mental health.
