The severity of anxiety and depression in 72 patients presenting with somatic complaints to the psychiatric clinic were assessed after excluding organic illnesses. Majority of the patients were females, between 15 to 34 years of age and came from lower socio-economic background. A high percentage of patients were brought up by dominant mothers and the married patients had passive husbands or active wives controlling the family. Generally the severity of depression was correlated with the severity of anxiety (C.C = 0.704, P less than 0.01). Majority of the patients were found to have both mixed anxiety depressive symptoms and the anxiety symptoms masking the underlying depressive symptomatology.
在排除器质性疾病后，对72名到精神科门诊就诊且伴有躯体不适的患者的焦虑和抑郁严重程度进行了评估。大多数患者为女性，年龄在15至34岁之间，来自社会经济背景较低的家庭。很大一部分患者由占主导地位的母亲抚养长大，已婚患者中，丈夫较为被动，或妻子较为强势并掌控家庭。总体而言，抑郁严重程度与焦虑严重程度相关（相关系数C.C = 0.704，P小于0.01）。大多数患者同时存在混合性焦虑抑郁症状，且焦虑症状掩盖了潜在的抑郁症状。
