“…These findings support the results of other studies on comorbid anxiety and depression. 3,7,12,[31][32][33][34][35] Therefore, health professionals encountering individuals with either anxiety or depressive symptoms should carefully assess for the presence of comorbid psychological conditions. In addition, considering that nearly 70% of those with comorbid GAD and MDE had at least one physical chronic condition, and in light of solid evidence elucidating the bidirectional relationship between mental illnesses (specifically depression and anxiety) and physical health outcomes, 36 particular attention should be given to the prevention Furthermore, this paper demonstrated that nearly 50% of those with comorbid GAD and MDE perceived that their need for mental health care was either not met or only partially met compared to about 30% of those with GAD only or MDE only.…”
