Objective: To determine the factors associated with generalized anxiety disorders in patients presenting with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Gynecology and Psychiatric outpatient department of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, SZABMU, Islamabad, from Jan to Jul 2016. Methodology: Patients presenting with polycystic ovarian syndrome were enrolled. Patients were selected from the gynaecological and Medicine department. Patient’s history was taken and diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder was made utilising Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7. Patients having diabetes mellitus, hypertension, Cushing’s syndrome, hypoglycaemia, co-morbid psychiatric illnesses, history of psychiatric illness in past and family history of psychiatric illness were excluded from the study. Results: Among 105 patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome, 79 (75%) patients had no generalized anxiety disorders while, 26 (25%) had generalized anxiety disorders. 2 out of 12 (16.6%) patients of age range of 15-20 year had generalized anxiety disorders, 9 out of 63 14.2% patients having age 21-30 years had generalized anxiety disorders and 15 out of 30 (50%) patients having age 31-40 years age had generalized anxiety disorders. Chi-square test revealed age, education level and socioeconomic status has a significant association with presence of generalized anxiety disorder among patients of polycystic ovarian disorder (with p-value <0.05). Conclusion: Generalized anxiety disorder was common in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Age, low education level and low socioeconomic status had a significant relationship with generalized anxiety disorder in polycystic ovarian syndrome patients.

Background: Migraine and anxiety are common neuro-psychiatric disorders in clinical practice, sharing symptoms and epidemiological factors among themselves. The presence of both pathologies in the same individual is frequently reported in the literature. Objectives: To report the clinical and epidemiological correlations established between generalized anxiety disorder and migraine. Methodology: Systematic review of studies published between 2016 and 2021, exploring the association between generalized anxiety disorders and Migraine. The descriptors “association”, “Migraines” and “Generalized Anxiety Disorder” were used in the LILACS, SCIELO and PUBMED databases. Fourteen articles were selected, mostly dealing with epidemiological studies. Results: Evidence suggests that these pathologies are associated and share common symptoms, pathophysiology and epidemiological factors. Studies corroborate that anxiety and painful sensation are more strongly associated with migraine than with other psychiatric illnesses. It has also demonstrated some characteristics of patients who are predisposed to develop both comorbidities such as smoke, low income and a history of other previous diseases. Common triggering factors such as pain, sleep disorders and stress can also contribute to the association between pathologies. Conclusions: Based on the studies analyzed in full, the high prevalence of both diseases in the same individual highlights the importance of research on the cause and consequence relationship between Anxiety and Migraine, since this is not yet clarified in the medical literature. In addition, paying attention to migraine correlation to generalized anxiety disorder increases the quality of life of the patient in the short and long term, as well as help in the choice of better treatments.

The aim of the study was to investigate the clinical features of depression and the relationship between depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Material and methods: 93 patients with stroke were examined, of whom 59 men (39-83 years) and 34 women (56-87 years), mean age 66.8 years. We used Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and GAD-7. Results: Depressive disorder in the acute phase after stroke was found in approximately 2/3 (64.5%) of patients with stroke, with mild to moderate depressive disorders with low mood, increased mental and somatic anxiety, insomnia , somatic complaints, with extravagant hypochondriac thoughts. In our study we found significant positive correlation between depressive disorders and generalized anxiety disorders – and increase of severity of depressive disorders was followed by increase of severity of generalized anxiety disorders. We found high comorbidity between depression and generalized anxiety disorder.

Abstract Objective: This study aims to investigate whether anxiety disorders in adolescents have a link with the separation time of bed/bedroom sharing with parents. It also aims to raise awareness in society about the issue of minimizing anxiety disorders in childhood. Methods: A case-control study was conducted in Şevket Yılmaz Training and Research Hospital between June 2013 and May 2014. The participants included 51 adolescents who were diagnosed as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) with no-comorbidity and 71 healthy adolescents as the control group, who were chosen randomly. Diagnosis of GAD was based on the criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed) by child and adolescent psychiatry doctors. The Turkish version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used for the control group. A special survey about demographics and bed-sharing statements was constructed for the purpose of the study. The groups were analyzed in terms of duration of co-sleeping (bed-sharing) and rooming-in (keeping the mother and the baby in same room) with parents during infancy and the development of anxiety disorders in later period. Results: Mean duration of rooming-in was significantly longer in the case group than in the control group (p=0.009). Similarly, mean duration of co-sleeping in the case group was longer than that of the control group. However, this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.529). Conclusion: Sleeping in the same room with children for a long time may result in anxiety disorders in later period due to possible difficulties in bonding and/or less self-confidence.

Objectives: Negative perceptions about psychiatric treatment are likely to affect treatment adherence. We compared attitudes of patients with psychiatric illness and those of medical patients towards psychiatric treatment. Methods: Both patients with psychiatric illness and medical patients (controls) were shown a printed copy of two vignettes depicting major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. They were asked for their perceptions on the utility, effects and possible side effects of psychiatric medications, as well as the utility of psychotherapy in treating major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Responses between psychiatric patients and medical patients were compared using appropriate statistical tests, including logistic regression. Results: Patients with psychiatric illness were more likely than medical patients to endorse the utility of medications in treating major depression and generalized anxiety disorder ( p<0.001). Those with psychiatric illness were more likely to endorse the utility of psychotherapy in treating major depression ( p=0.004). Both groups of patients were of the view that psychotherapy would benefit generalized anxiety disorder. Older and lesser educated patients held negative beliefs about medications. Conclusions: While patients with psychiatric illnesses endorsed favourable attitudes toward medications ( p<0.001), the older and lesser educated were more likely to hold negative views ( p<0.05). Psychoeducation should be tailored to the needs of older and lesser educated patients.

Background. Although it is well known that generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is highly co-morbid with other mental disorders, little is known about the extent to which earlier disorders predict the subsequent first onset and persistence of GAD. These associations are examined in the current report using data from four community surveys in the World Health Organization (WHO) International Consortium in Psychiatric Epidemiology (ICPE).Method. The surveys come from Brazil, Canada, the Netherlands and the United States. The Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) was used to assess DSM-III-R anxiety, mood and substance use disorders in these surveys. Discrete-time survival analysis was used to examine the associations of retrospectively reported earlier disorders with first onset of GAD. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the associations of the disorders with persistence of GAD.Results. Six disorders predict first onset of GAD in all four surveys: agoraphobia, panic disorder, simple phobia, dysthymia, major depression and mania. With the exception of simple phobia, only respondents with active disorders have elevated risk of GAD. In the case of simple phobia, in comparison, respondents with a history of remitted disorder also have consistently elevated risk of GAD. Simple phobia is also the only disorder that predicts the persistence of GAD.Conclusions. The causal processes linking temporally primary disorders to onset of GAD are likely to be state-dependent. History of simple phobia might be a GAD risk marker. Further research is needed to explore the mechanisms involved in the relationship between simple phobia and subsequent GAD.
