MENTAL DISORDERS IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC RESPIRATORY DISEASE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Anxiety and depression are common mental disorders that negatively impact the management and treatment of chronic respiratory patients, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Objectives: To compare the prevalence of anxiety and depression in chronic respiratory patients and evaluate risk factors of mental disorders in chronic respiratory patients. Materials and methods: Case-control study based on 73 patients with COPD or asthma presenting to ACOCU and a control group of 73 healthy participants. Data was collected from 6/2021 to 3/2022. We used GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scales to assess anxiety and depression. Results: The prevalence of anxiety is high, 30.1% in chronic respiratory patients, compared to the control group, in which the majority was 21.9% and is not statistically significant (p>0.05). The prevalence of depression is high at 47.9% in chronic respiratory patients, compared to the control group, where the majority was 28.8%, and is statistically significant (p<0.05). The male gender is related to a higher risk of depression among chronic respiratory patients and is statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusions: The prevalence of anxiety and depression in chronic respiratory patients is higher than in the control group. In chronic respiratory patients, male has a higher risk of depression.
