Results: The average age of those suffering more than one depressive episode is significantly older (5 years), and a higher percentage of subjects who have experienced more than one depressive episode have a history of anxiety disorders. In the multivariate analysis, the variables that obtained a significant value in the logistic regression analysis were age (OR: 1.03; value: 0.007) and having suffered sexual abuse during childhood (OR: 1.64; value: 0.072). Conclusion: These indicators should be considered by primary care physicians when attending patients suffering from major depression.

This study emphasizes the need for the development of high-quality clinical trials on the prevention of anxiety disorders in primary care.
