The aim of the present study was to assess the point‐prevalence of psychiatric disorders according to DSM‐III‐R criteria and the hidden morbidity in individuals with intellectual disability working in a vocational setting. The present study was carried out in a vocational centre in Southern Spain which is considered to be a model for social integration. One hundred and thirty workers with intellectual disability were interviewed by two experienced clinicians using the Assessment and Information Rating Profile, DSM‐III‐R criteria, and the General Assessment of Functioning and Clinical Global Impression scales. The point‐prevalence of psychiatric morbidity, hidden morbidity and treatment adequacy were estimated. Morbidity was hidden (i.e. not previously diagnosed) in 50% of psychiatric cases. Forty‐two (32.3%) subjects had a psychiatric diagnosis with the following distribution: schizophrenia (17.7%), other psychotic disorders (9.23%), mood disorders (4.61%), adaptive disorders (2.31%), anxiety disorders (1.54%) and other psychiatric disorders (6.15%). Treatment was judged inadequate in 30% of subjects. The point‐prevalence of psychiatric problems in a vocational setting in Spain was similar to that found in other environments. Hidden morbidity was similar to that found in primary care. The present study highlights the need for standardized instruments for psychiatric assessment in non‐clinical settings as well as specific training in this area. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Epidemiological studies indicate that most patients in the community do not get treatment for psychiatric disorders. It is unknown whether persons who present for outpatient psychiatric services seek treatment for all the disorders they have or only for the principal disorder for which they are seeking treatment. The goal of this study was to determine which axis I psychiatric disorders motivate patients to seek treatment. METHODS: Four hundred outpatients at a hospital-affiliated, community-based, psychiatric clinical practice were interviewed with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID). For patients with more than one disorder, the diagnoses were assigned as principal or additional according to the DSM-IV convention of whether it was the patient's stated primary reason for presenting for treatment or was an additional disorder. For all current disorders, patients were asked whether the symptoms of each diagnosed disorder were a reason, or one of the reasons, for seeking treatment. RESULTS: Nearly all patients with major depression wanted treatment for this disorder, and more than 85 percent of patients with panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder indicated that the symptoms of these disorders were a reason for seeking treatment. Half to two-thirds of patients with social phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, and substance use disorders reported that the symptoms of these disorders were a reason for seeking treatment. Only 30 percent of those with specific phobia indicated that their phobic fears were a reason for seeking treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Patients often seek treatment for symptoms of disorders that are diagnosed as comorbid, rather than principal, conditions. It is important for clinicians to conduct thorough diagnostic interviews in order to diagnose disorders that are not related to the patient's chief complaint, as patients often desire treatment for these additional diagnoses. 相似文献

Anxiety in patients with epilepsy: systematic review and suggestions for clinical management 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Up to 50 or 60% of patients with chronic epilepsy have various mood disorders including depression and anxiety. Whereas the relationship between epilepsy and depression has received much attention, less is known about anxiety disorders. It is now recognized that anxiety can have a profound influence on the quality of life of patients with epilepsy. The relationship between anxiety disorders and epilepsy is complex. It is necessary to distinguish between different manifestations of anxiety disorder: ictal, postictal, and interictal anxiety. Preexisting vulnerability factors, neurobiological factors, iatrogenic influences (antiepileptic drugs, epilepsy surgery), and psychosocial factors are all likely to play a role, but with considerable individual differences. Despite the high prevalence of anxiety disorders in patients with epilepsy, there are no systematic treatment studies or evidence-based guidelines for best treatment practice. Nevertheless, a practical approach based on the temporal relationship between anxiety and epileptic seizures allows clinicians to consider appropriate treatment strategies to reduce the psychiatric comorbidity in patients with epilepsy. 相似文献

Background: Serotonin–dopamine antagonists (SDAs) inhibit dopaminergic transmission in the mesolimbic system less than in the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway, which relates to the extrapyramidal side‐effects of these drugs. The SDAs seem to have an adequate receptor binding profile for the management of the behavioral and psychiatric symptoms of dementia. However, clinicians are discouraged from prescribing SDAs for elderly patients because of an advisory statement from the US Food and Drug Administration that warns about an increased mortality rate among elderly patients treated with atypical antipsychotics. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study involving 16 elderly patients (mean age 84.9 years; range 67–94 years) with delirium who were treated with one of two SDAs, namely perospirone (4–12 mg/day) or risperidone (1–2 mg/day). The time‐course of their psychiatric symptoms was assessed using subcategories of the Delirium Rating Scale (DRS) before treatment and on Days 10 and 24 of treatment. Results: Total DRS scores were significantly decreased from baseline in both treatment groups. Both agents led to significant improvements from baseline in psychomotor behavior and lability of mood. Of interest, perospirone decreased hallucinations and delusions and improved sleep–awake cycle disturbances compared with baseline. No serious side‐effects were seen with either drug. Conclusions: Both perospirone and risperidone are effective in the management of delirium in elderly patients. The improvement in the sleep–awake cycle with perospirone may be derived from its short pharmacological half‐life. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this paper is to describe the participation of a consultation-liaison (CL) psychiatrist within a hospital medical advisory committee (MAC) and examine how this may generally contribute to improved patient care as well as assist in the development of governance within the hospital. CONCLUSIONS: Psychiatrists have a role in a MAC in enhancing the recognition of psychiatric care issues within the hospital, educating other members of the committee with respect to improved recognition of mental illness affecting hospital inpatients and enhanced care of patients requiring substitute decision-making. The psychiatrist also has a role in advising the committee on psychosocial issues generally affecting the hospital service as well as informing on psychological issues that impact on hospital staff performance. To an extent, CL psychiatry also encompasses issues involving all the other medical craft groups in hospitals, offering the opportunity for a "global" perspective that may be expressed through participation in a MAC. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Nonpsychotic psychiatric symptoms may occasionally herald the later development of schizophrenia. This study followed a population-based cohort of adolescents with nonpsychotic, non-major affective psychiatric disorders to ascertain future hospitalization for schizophrenia. METHODS: Results of the medical and mental health assessments on 124 24416- to 17-year-old males screened by the Israeli draft board were cross-linked with the National Psychiatric Hospitalization case registry, which contains data on all psychiatric hospitalizations in the country, during a 4- to 8-year-long follow-up through age 25 years. In the cohort, 9365 adolescents were assigned a nonpsychotic, non-major affective diagnosis by the draft board. RESULTS: After excluding 167 adolescents who were hospitalized before or up to 1 year after the draft board assessment, 1.03% of the adolescents assigned a nonpsychotic, non-major affective psychiatric diagnosis, compared with only 0.23% of the adolescents without any psychiatric diagnosis, were later hospitalized for schizophrenia. Of the patients with schizophrenia, 26.8%, compared with only 7.4% in the general population, had been assigned a nonpsychotic, non-major affective psychiatric diagnosis in adolescence (overall odds ratio [OR], 4.5; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.6-5.6), ranging from OR, 21.5 (95% CI, 12.6-36.6) for schizophrenia spectrum personality disorders to OR, 3.6 (95% CI, 2.1-6.2) for neurosis. CONCLUSION: These results reflect the relatively common finding of impaired functioning in patients later hospitalized for schizophrenia and the relatively low power of these disorders in predicting schizophrenia. 相似文献

INTRODUCTION: We investigated those psychiatric patients whose reason for seeking medical help was primarily a physical condition. Our objectives were to analyse to what extent they suffered from seasonal variation in mood and behaviour during winter, and to examine whether these patients were evenly distributed between the categories of the ICD-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders (ICD-10) by their primary diagnosis of mental disorder. METHOD: Patients attending the psychiatric services of a consultation liaison unit were interviewed for diagnosis, and were asked to fill in a questionnaire on seasonal variation in mood and behaviour. RESULTS: Our results suggest that there are many patients fulfilling the criteria based on the Seasonal Pattern Assessment uestionnaire (SPA) for seasonal affective disorder (SAD) or for subsyndromal SAD, not only in the ICD-10 diagnosis category of mood (affective) disorders but also in other disorder categories. CONCLUSION: This observation is of importance to hospital and private clinicians, as it emphasizes the need to assess the clinical picture in detail and to consider treatment alternatives for patients presenting with mental disorder with a seasonal pattern.

OBJECTIVE: This study examined the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and comorbid psychiatric disorders among juvenile detainees. METHODS: The sample consisted of a stratified random sample of 898 youths aged ten to 18 years who were arrested and detained in Chicago. RESULTS: Among participants with PTSD, 93% had at least one comorbid psychiatric disorder; however, among those without PTSD, 64% had at least one comorbid psychiatric disorder. Over half (54%) of the participants with PTSD had two or more types of comorbid disorders--that is, affective, anxiety, behavioral, or substance use disorders--and 11% had all four types of comorbid disorders. Among males, having any psychiatric diagnosis significantly increased the odds of having comorbid PTSD. Among females, alcohol use disorder and both alcohol and drug use disorders significantly increased the odds of having PTSD. No significant difference in prevalence rates of PTSD was found between males and females with specific psychiatric disorders. The prevalence of any comorbid psychiatric disorder was significantly greater for males with PTSD than that for females with PTSD (OR=3.4, CI=1.1-10.6, p<.05). CONCLUSIONS: Detection of comorbid PTSD among detained youths must be improved. PTSD is often missed because traumatic experiences are rarely included in standard screens or volunteered by patients. When planning treatment, clinicians must consider ramifications of comorbid PTSD. 相似文献

Valenti R, Pescini F, Antonini S, Castellini G, Poggesi A, Bianchi S, Inzitari D, Pallanti S, Pantoni L. Major depression and bipolar disorders in CADASIL: a study using the DSM‐IV semi‐structured interview.Acta Neurol Scand: 2011: 124: 390–395.© 2011 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Objective – Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is an inherited cerebral microangiopathy characterized by migraine, cerebrovascular events, and cognitive impairment. Although recognized as a cardinal feature of the disease, psychiatric disturbances have rarely been the object of focused studies. We performed a structured evaluation of mood disorders in CADASIL. Materials and Methods – Twenty‐three patients with CADASIL (five men and 18 women) were assessed by psychiatrists using the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM‐IV, clinician version. For the quantitative assessment of current mood disorder symptoms, the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) and the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) were used. Results – A lifetime depressive episode was recorded in 17/23 (73.9%) patients with CADASIL. Six (26.1%) patients with CADASIL reported a current depressive episode. A diagnosis of manic lifetime episode was made in 6 (26.1%) patients with CADASIL. The HRSD mean score in patients with current depression was 9.1 ± SD 8.1. The YMRS mean score was 14.2 ± SD 4.1 for manic CADASIL. Conclusion – This study confirms that mood disorders are frequent in CADASIL. The use of a structured psychiatric interview outlines a frequency of depression higher than that previously reported but also reveals a considerable frequency of bipolar disorders. If confirmed in larger series, these data suggest that a greater attention should be paid to the psychiatric aspects in CADASIL. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: Several psychiatric conditions, both internalizing and externalizing, have been documented in comorbidity with Asperger Syndrome (AS) and High Functioning Autism (HFA). In this review we examine the interplay between psychiatric comorbidities and AS/HFA. In particular, we will focus our attention on three main issues. First, we examine which psychiatric disorders are more frequently associated with AS/HFA. Second, we review which diagnostic tools are currently available for clinicians to investigate and diagnose the associated psychiatric disorders in individuals with AS/HFA. Third, we discuss the challenges that clinicians and researchers face in trying to determine whether the psychiatric symptoms are phenotypic manifestations of AS/HFA or rather they are the expression of a distinct, though comorbid, disorder. We will also consider the role played by the environment in the manifestation and interpretation of these symptoms. Finally, we will propose some strategies to try to address these issues, and we will discuss therapeutic implications. 相似文献

Psychiatric comorbidity assessed in Korean children and adolescents who screen positive for Internet addiction 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate clinical comorbidity in children and adolescents with Internet addiction by using structured interview. METHOD: The study was performed in 2 stages. We screened for the presence of Internet addiction among 455 children (mean +/- SD age = 11.0 +/- 0.9 years) and 836 adolescents (mean +/- SD age = 15.8 +/- 0.8 years) using Young's Internet Addiction Scale. These subjects also completed a measure of psychopathology for comparison between addicted and nonaddicted subjects. Sixty-three children (13.8%) and 170 adolescents (20.3%) screened positive for Internet addiction. Of these, 12 children (male, N = 9; female, N = 3) and 12 adolescents (male, N = 11; female, N = 1) were randomly selected for evaluation of current psychiatric diagnoses. Structured interviews used were K-SADS-PL-K for children and SCID-IV for adolescents. Data were collected and interviews were conducted from August 2003 through October 2004. RESULTS: In the child group, 7 were diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) not otherwise specified including those with subthreshold levels. Mean DuPaul's ADHD Rating Scale scores were more than 20% higher than the mean in Korean children for 6 subjects. In the adolescent group, 3 subjects had major depressive disorder, 1 had schizophrenia, and 1 had obsessive-compulsive disorder. CONCLUSION: By structured interview, we found that Internet-addicted subjects had various comorbid psychiatric disorders. The most closely related comorbidities differ with age. Though we can not conclude that Internet addiction is a cause or consequence of these disorders, clinicians must consider the possibility of age-specific comorbid psychiatric disorders in cases of Internet addiction. 相似文献

Background
Diabetes mellitus, classified into types 1 and 2, is a chronic disease that shows high comorbidity with psychiatric disorders. Insulin-dependent patients show a higher prevalence of psychiatric disorders than do patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods
This research involved the participation of 200 subjects divided into 2 groups: 100 patients with diabetes type 1 and 100 patients with diabetes type 2. This study used the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for the identification of psychiatric disorders.Results
Of the 200 participants, 85 (42.5%) were found to have at least 1 psychiatric disorder. The most prevalent disorders were generalized anxiety disorder (21%), dysthymia (15%), social phobia (7%), current depression (5.5%), lifelong depression (3.5%), panic disorder (2.5%), and risk of suicide (2%). Other disorders with lower prevalence were also identified. The groups showed a statistically significant difference in the presence of dysthymia, current depression, and panic disorder, which were more prevalent in patients with diabetes type 1.Conclusion
The high prevalence of psychiatric disorders in diabetic patients points to the need for greater investment in appropriate diagnostic evaluation of patients that considers mental issues. The difference identified between the groups shows that preventive measures and therapeutic projects should consider the specific demands of each type of diabetes. 相似文献13.

OBJECTIVE: Increasingly, epidemiological studies are employing computerized and highly standardized interviews, such as the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI-Auto), to assess the prevalence of psychiatric illness. Recent studies conducted in specialist units have reported poor agreement between experienced clinicians' and CIDI-Auto diagnoses. In this study we investigated the concordance rate between clinicians and the CIDI-Auto for the diagnosis of six anxiety disorders and two mood disorders, whereby the CIDI-Auto was treated as the 'gold standard'. METHOD: Subjects were 262 patients who were assessed by a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist and completed the CIDI-Auto at a tertiary referral unit for anxiety and mood disorders. Agreement between the clinicians' diagnoses and the diagnoses generated by the CIDI-Auto according to both DSM-IV and ICD-10 codes, were examined by kappa statistics. Sensitivity and specificity values were also calculated. RESULTS: Agreement between clinicians and the CIDI-Auto (DSM-IV) ranged from poor for social phobia and posttraumatic stress disorder (kappa < 0.30) to moderate for obsessive- compulsive disorder (OCD; kappa = 0.52). Agreement between clinicians and the CIDI-Auto (ICD-10) ranged from poor for major depressive episode (kappa = 0.25) to moderate for OCD (kappa = 0.57). With the CIDI diagnosis treated as the gold standard, clinicians' diagnoses showed low sensitivity (kappa < 0.70) for all the disorders except for OCD (for ICD-10), but high specificity (kappa > 0.70) for all the disorders. Conclusion: Poor agreements between experienced clinicians and the CIDI-Auto were reported for anxiety and mood disorders in the current study. A major implication is that if diagnosis alone directed treatment, then patients could receive different treatments, depending on whether the computer, or a clinician, made the diagnosis. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship between child psychiatric disorders and quality of life (QoL). METHOD: In a sample of 310 children (ages 6-18 years) referred for psychiatric problems, children, parents, and clinicians reported on psychopathology and subjective and objective QoL indicators. RESULTS: Six diagnostic categories were distinguished: attention-deficit and disruptive behavior disorders, anxiety disorders, pervasive developmental disorders, mood disorders, other disorders, and no diagnosis. In overall QoL, no differences were found between the diagnostic categories, except in clinician's ratings, who rated children with pervasive developmental disorder as having a poorer QoL than children with other diagnoses. In each diagnostic category specific QoL subdomains were affected: for children with attention-deficit and disruptive behavior disorder, school functioning and social functioning; for children with anxiety disorder, emotional functioning; for children with pervasive developmental disorder, social functioning; and for children with mood disorder, emotional functioning. CONCLUSIONS: Across multiple raters, the distinguished child psychiatric disorders had a different impact on QoL. Knowledge about domains of QoL that are affected in specific child psychiatric disorders can help clinicians to focus on particular QoL domains during the diagnostic process and to define adequate treatment goals. 相似文献

Zimmerman M, Galione JN, Chelminski I, Young D, Dalrymple K, Ruggero CJ. Sustained unemployment in psychiatric outpatients with bipolar disorder: frequency and association with demographic variables and comorbid disorders.Bipolar Disord 2010: 12: 720–726. © 2010 The Authors.Journal compilation © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Objectives: The negative impact of bipolar disorder on occupational functioning is well established. However, few studies have examined the persistence of unemployment, and no studies have examined the association between diagnostic comorbidity and sustained unemployment. In the present report from the Rhode Island Methods to Improve Diagnostic Assessment and Services (MIDAS) project, we described the amount of time unemployed in the five years before the evaluation in a large cohort of outpatients diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and determined the demographic and clinical correlates of sustained unemployment. Methods: A total of 206 patients diagnosed with DSM‐IV bipolar I or bipolar II disorder were interviewed with semi‐structured interviews assessing comorbid Axis I and Axis II disorders, demographic and clinical variables. The interview included an assessment of the amount of time missed from work due to psychiatric reasons during the past five years. Persistent unemployment was defined as missing up to two years or more from work. Results: Less than 20% of the patients reported not missing any time from work due to psychiatric reasons, and more than one‐third missed up to two years or more from work. Prolonged unemployment was associated with increased rates of current panic disorder and a lifetime history of alcohol abuse or dependence. Patients with prolonged unemployment were older and experienced more episodes of depression. Conclusions: Most patients presenting for the treatment of bipolar disorder have missed some time from work due to psychiatric reasons, and the persistence of employment problems is considerable. Comorbid psychiatric disorders are a potentially treatable risk factor for sustained unemployment. It is therefore of public health significance to determine if current treatments are effective in bipolar disorder patients with current panic disorder, and if not, to attempt to develop treatments that are effective. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To provide practical recommendations for monitoring patients both before and during treatment with atypical antipsychotics, to assist clinicians in implementing preventative measures against diabetes, and to establish baselines according to which clinicians should initiate diabetes treatment. METHOD: A working group of Canadian specialists in psychiatry and endocrinology reviewed peer-reviewed clinical studies published in this area and other relevant papers and abstracts. RESULTS: The reviewed studies further confirm that atypical antipsychotic medications are the most effective components in the medical management of many psychotic conditions; they also further emphasize the need to more stringently monitor and recognize diabetes risk factors inherent in these patients. Recommendations are based on a review of the available data, on expert opinion and consensus, and on current Canadian guidelines for the treatment of schizophrenia and management of diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with psychiatric disorders, most particularly schizophrenia and mood disorders, have an increased risk for type 2 diabetes and should be screened frequently, especially when other risk factors are present. The resulting recommendations offer practical steps for effectively screening patients prior to and during treatment with atypical antipsychotics. They include (1) how to conduct an initial baseline assessment, (2) when and how to monitor blood glucose and lipid levels, and (3) how to educate patients regarding such lifestyle issues as nutrition, exercise, and diet. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To study the presence of psychiatric comorbidity assessed by the use of a structured clinical interview and self-reported questionnaires in a large sample of patients with adult-onset myotonic dystrophy (DM), facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), and hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type I (HMSN-I), and to assess whether psychiatric comorbidity is related to fatigue severity and/or muscle strength. METHODS: In a cohort of 217 patients with a neuromuscular disorder (79 DM, 65 FSHD and 73 HMSN-I patients) overall psychiatric comorbidity was studied cross-sectionally with the structured clinical interview for DSM-IV axis I disorders. Self-reported psychopathology, fatigue severity and muscle strength were assessed with the Beck Depression Inventory, Symptom Checklist-90, General Health Questionnaire-12, Checklist Individual Strength and muscle strength [Medical Research Council (MRC)-scale]. RESULTS: In all three neuromuscular disorders (DM, FSHD and HMSN), 10-12% of the patients met DSM IV clinical criteria for current psychiatric disorders. Lifetime psychiatric disorders were found in 32% of patients in all three patient groups. The most common psychiatric disorders were depression and phobias. A comparison of patients with and without current psychiatric disorder showed that fatigue severity and muscle strength (MRC) were not related to psychiatric comorbidity. CONCLUSION: Psychiatric disorders appear equally in patients with DM, FSHD and HMSN-I and are not related to fatigue or muscle strength in these patients. 相似文献

Kleptomania presents difficulties in diagnosis for clinicians. This study aimed to develop and test a DSM‐IV‐based diagnostic instrument for kleptomania. To assess for current kleptomania the Structured Clinical Interview for Kleptomania (SCI‐K) was administered to 112 consecutive subjects requesting psychiatric outpatient treatment for a variety of disorders. Reliability and validity were determined. Classification accuracy was examined using the longitudinal course of illness. The SCI‐K demonstrated excellent test‐retest (Phi coefficient = 0.956 (95% CI = 0.937, 0.970)) and inter‐rater reliability (phi coefficient = 0.718 (95% CI = 0.506, 0.848)) in the diagnosis of kleptomania. Concurrent validity was observed with a self‐report measure using DSM‐IV kleptomania criteria (phi coefficient = 0.769 (95% CI = 0.653, 0.850)). Discriminant validity was observed with a measure of depression (point biserial coefficient = −0.020 (95% CI = −0.205, 0.166)). The SCI‐K demonstrated both high sensitivity and specificity based on longitudinal assessment. The SCI‐K demonstrated excellent reliability and validity in diagnosing kleptomania in subjects presenting with various psychiatric problems. These findings require replication in larger groups, including non‐psychiatric populations, to examine their generalizability. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Purpose: To compare the effect of anxiety disorders, major depressive episodes (MDEs), and subsyndromic depressive episodes (SSDEs) on antiepileptic drug (AED)–related adverse events (AEs) in persons with epilepsy (PWE). Methods: The study included 188 consecutive PWE from five U.S. outpatient epilepsy clinics, all of whom underwent structured interviews (SCID) to identify current and past mood disorders and other current Axis I psychiatric diagnoses according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM‐IV‐TR) criteria. A diagnosis of SSDE was made in patients with total Beck Depression Inventory‐II (BDI‐II) scores >12 or the Centers of Epidemiologic Studies‐Depression (CES‐D) > 16 (in the absence of any DSM diagnosis of mood disorder. The presence and severity of AEs was measured with the Adverse Event Profile (AEP). Key Findings: Compared to asymptomatic patients (n = 103), the AEP scores of patients with SSDE (n = 26), MDE only (n = 10), anxiety disorders only (n = 21), or mixed MDE/anxiety disorders (n = 28) were significantly higher, suggesting more severe AED‐related AEs. Univariate analyses revealed that having persistent seizures in the last 6 months and taking antidepressants was associated with more severe AEs. Post hoc analyses, however, showed that these differences were accounted for by the presence of a depressive and/or anxiety disorders. Significance: Depressive and anxiety disorders worsen AED‐related AEs even when presenting as a subsyndromic type. These data suggest that the presence of psychiatric comorbidities must be considered in their interpretation, both in clinical practice and AED drug trials. 相似文献
