The study was conducted using international psychometric scales: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Score (HADS), Hamilton Anxiety and Depression Rating Scale (HDRS, HAM-A). Results and discussion. As a result of the study, it was found that among patients with mixed anxiety-depressive disorders who were treated on an outpatient basis, young people of working age from 21 to 50 years (83.3%) prevailed, in whom psychogenic anxiety-depressive disorders accounted for 60%. In the course of clinical observations, objective data were obtained indicating that when treating depressive states of mild and moderate severity with Mianserin drug on an outpatient basis, by the end of the second week of treatment, there is a fairly pronounced positive dynamics in the reduction of symptoms of depression.
