Amblyopia is a common developmental disability resulting in reduced visual acuity and gaze stability; it occurs in approximately 5% of the general population. Here, we present the case of an 18-year-old girl diagnosed with amblyopia. Subsequent to her diagnosis of amblyopia, she developed a depressive episode with co-morbid anxiety symptoms. She was treated with low intensity psychological intervention, Problem Management Plus, as home-based intervention. This intervention was associated both subjectively and objectively utilising psychometric measures (i.e. psychiatric interview, depression, anxiety and stress scale, general health questionnaire) with a significant amelioration of her mental state. This case provides preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of Problem Management Plus intervention and suggests that this intervention should be considered for other individuals with similar clinical presentations.
弱视是一种常见的发育障碍，导致视力和注视稳定性下降；它发生在大约 5%的普通人群中。在这里，我们介绍了一位 18 岁女孩被诊断为弱视的病例。在被诊断为弱视后，她出现了伴有共病焦虑症状的抑郁发作。她接受了低强度的心理干预，即问题管理加，作为家庭为基础的干预。使用心理测量措施（即精神科访谈、抑郁、焦虑和压力量表、一般健康问卷）对她的精神状态进行了主观和客观的评估，发现这种干预措施与她的精神状态显著改善有关。该病例初步证明了问题管理加干预的有效性，并表明应考虑将这种干预措施用于其他具有类似临床表现的个体。
