“…Self-evaluation scales were implemented that have been used and validated in various studies [11,12] and settings [9,10,[13][14][15][16][17][18]. Analysis of demographic data indicated statistically significant differences (p < 005) between men and women, a finding concordant with the literature [19][20][21][22].…”

“…These symptoms of depression may exacerbate preexisting physical limitations and/or cause perceptions of limited physical abilities. Furthermore, depression is clearly linked to increased pain perception (e.g., Bair, Robinson, Katon and Kroenke, 2003) and somatic complaints (e.g., Garcia-Campayo et al, 2008), which can contribute to perceptions of poor health.…”

This study examines the relationship among posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) severity, depression severity, and subjective and objective physical health in a sample of 200 adults with PTSD. PTSD severity was correlated with subjective, but not objective, health. Similarly, depression symptoms had an indirect effect on the relationship between PTSD symptom severity and three measures of subjective physical health. Finally, depression symptoms had an indirect effect on the relationship between both reexperiencing and hyperarousal symptoms and subjective physical health. This research underscores the important role that PTSD, particularly reexperiencing and hyperarousal symptoms, and depression may have on perceptions of physical health.

“…Cependant, comme les symptômes douloureux sont souvent des symptômes résiduels [35], le fait qu'il y ait moins de patients dépressifs avec douleur modérée/sévère chez les psychiatres contraste avec la notion selon laquelle les patients consultant un psychiatre seraient plus sévères que ceux consultant un médecin généraliste. Des études précédentes incluant l'analyse européenne de l'étude FIN-DER ont exploré l'impact négatif des symptômes somatiques et douloureux sur la qualité de vie des patients dépressifs et leur possible implication sur l'évolution de la dépres-sion [19,21,36]. Une explication du fait qu'il y ait moins de patients algiques parmi les psychiatres, pourrait être qu'en France il est possible pour les patients d'accéder à une consultation avec un spécialiste sans être contraint de consulter un généraliste.…”
