“…In addition, an overlap between anxiety and depressive symptoms in patients with COPD is common and may increase the prevalence of patients with anxiety disorder [30,31], although in our study COPD remained associated with an increased risk of anxiety disorder even after adjusting for depression.…”

Objective: Few studies have investigated the relationship between Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and anxiety disorder outcomes. We sought to investigate the association in a large national sample. Results: Of the 59,902 subjects, 3951 were found to have anxiety disorders during a mean (SD) follow-up period of 5.5 (2.5) years. COPD, female, urban residence, lower dose of prednisone use, depressive disorders and higher outpatient visits were independent predictors of incident anxiety disorder. MethodsConclusions: COPD was associated with increased risk of an anxiety disorder diagnosis, independent of a number of potential confounding factors.

“…All of these data add fuel to the ongoing debate about whether anxiety and depression are one or two distinct categories of disorders,45,60,61 not to ignore their comorbidity, which is also frequently mentioned 38,62,63. In light of the results obtained, which offer valid estimates in terms of the risks of suffering from the mental disorders under study, we have observed a link between finding it hard to fall asleep and the risk of being anxious rather than depressive or asymptomatic.…”

PurposeThe objective of this study was to identify the sleep problems most often encountered by the elderly according to the presence or absence of anxiety and mood disorders. The aim was also to determine whether groups of anxious, depressive, and asymptomatic individuals differ in relation to sleep onset latency; awakenings at night or early in the morning; subjective quality of sleep; taking of sleep medication; and daytime sleepiness.MethodsStructured interviews based on the DSM-IV-TR were administered to a sample of 2,759 seniors aged 65 years and older at the participants’ home by health professionals.ResultsAwakening was found to be the most common disturbance. Increased sleep onset latency was the second most frequent sleep difficulty. Taking more than 30 minutes to fall asleep was associated with the likelihood of meeting the diagnostic criteria for an anxiety disorder, and even reduced the risk of meeting the diagnostic criteria for a mood disorder rather than an anxiety disorder. Awakenings were associated with the probability of suffering from an anxiety disorder or a mood disorder. Quality of sleep, as perceived by the elderly, was not found to be associated with the probability of suffering from a mental disorder.ConclusionThese findings should help to facilitate the practitioner’s diagnosis and add further nuances to be considered when encountering symptoms of an anxious or depressive appearance. All of these data also add fuel to the ongoing debate about whether anxiety and depression are one or two distinct categories of disorders.

“…Depression is also one of the withdrawal symptoms that predicts relapse to smoking [10]. Patients with anxiety and depression often suffer from low self-confidence or self-efficacy, which may lead to worsened disease related coping [11] and poor self-care behaviors. Moreover, co-existing addiction and psychiatric disorders significantly decrease the cessation success rates in COPD smokers and increase mortality among these patients [12].…”

BackgroundThe objective of this study is to assess anxiety, depression and panic disorders among patients diagnosed with COPD and to investigate their correlation with disease severity, quality of life as well as tobacco use.MethodsAn observational study was performed between January and September 2014 among 60 patients diagnosed with COPD. COPD staging according to GOLD criteria, while anxiety and depression were assessed using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and panic attacks were evaluated based on ICD 10 criteria.ResultsAlmost 40% of the sample were smokers, the medium packs-years was 34.3 and the medium Fagerstrom score was 7.5. Overall, mean Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC) was 2.86, mean COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score was 21.75 and study participants had 1.93 COPD exacerbations/year. Mean distribution of anxiety and depression symptoms scores among COPD subjects was 10.65 ± 3.5 and 9.93 ± 3.8, respectively. Smokers and ex-smokers had similar scores with regard to anxiety, depression or the presence of panic attacks. The results of the bivariate correlations indicated associations between anxiety, depression, panic attacks and disease severity, as well as poor quality of life of patients with COPD, regardless of their current tobacco use status.ConclusionsIn conclusion, the results of this study indicate that anxiety, depression and panic attacks were constant characteristics among COPD patients- regardless of their current tobacco use.
