We investigated the associations between anxiety and depressive symptoms in normal subjects and patients with mood and/or anxiety disorders, using the Japaneses version of Spielberger's STAI and the Zung SDS.
The subjects for the present study were 60 normal subjects, 15 patients with anxiety disorders and, 12 patients with mood disorders meeting the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria. Informed consent was obtained from all subjects.
Our results might provide support for the existence of common underlying mechanisms to anxiety and depression.
我们使用斯皮尔伯格状态-特质焦虑量表(STAI)日语版和zung抑郁自评量表(SDS),研究正常受试者以及患有情绪和/或焦虑症的患者中焦虑症状与抑郁症状之间的关联。
本研究的受试者包括60名正常受试者、15名焦虑症患者以及12名符合DSM-IV诊断标准的情绪障碍患者。所有受试者均签署了知情同意书。
1)焦虑症患者和情绪障碍患者的平均状态焦虑总分(S-焦虑)和特质焦虑总分(T-焦虑)均显著高于正常受试者。2)焦虑症患者和情绪障碍患者的平均SDS总分显著高于正常受试者。3)在正常受试者中,T-焦虑总分和S-焦虑总分与SDS总分之间存在显著正相关。4)在焦虑症患者中,T-焦虑总分和S-焦虑总分与SDS总分之间存在显著正相关。5)在情绪障碍患者中,T-焦虑总分和S-焦虑总分与SDS总分之间存在不显著的正相关。
我们的结果可能为焦虑和抑郁存在共同潜在机制提供支持。
