Myasthenia gravis patients and matched normal controls were assessed on a range of psychological indices; myasthenic patients had higher scores on trait anxiety and suppression of anger. There were no other significant differences between the groups on psychological symptom measures (anxiety, depression or anger) or other trait measures (anger, suppression of anxiety and suppression of depression). It is concluded that trait anxiety and suppression of anger may predispose to myasthenia gravis.
对重症肌无力患者和匹配的正常对照者进行了一系列心理指标评估；重症肌无力患者在特质焦虑和愤怒抑制方面得分更高。在心理症状测量（焦虑、抑郁或愤怒）或其他特质测量（愤怒、焦虑抑制和抑郁抑制）方面，两组之间没有其他显著差异。得出的结论是，特质焦虑和愤怒抑制可能易患重症肌无力。
