本研究采用生活满意度和功能残疾自评量表评价焦虑抑郁障碍共病与生活质量的关系。参与者是94名在门诊焦虑症诊所接受治疗的人和26名非临床参与者。结果表明，被诊断患有焦虑症的参与者报告的生活质量低于非临床参与者。焦虑障碍共病并不额外影响生活质量;然而，抑郁障碍共病焦虑障碍的存在确实对生活质量产生负面影响，因为这些人报告的功能障碍和生活满意度显着高于单独患有焦虑障碍的人或没有精神病诊断的人。这些结果突出了焦虑症的负面性质，并改善了诊断性共病对焦虑症患者生活质量的作用。(C)2008爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The present investigation evaluated the relations among anxiety and depressive disorder comorbidity and quality of life (QOL) by utilizing self-report measures of life satisfaction and functional disability. Participants were 94 individuals who were presented for treatment at an outpatient anxiety disorders clinic and 26 nonclinical participants. Results indicated that participants diagnosed with anxiety disorders reported lower QOL than did nonclinical participants. Anxiety disorder comorbidity did not additionally impact QOL; however, presence of a depressive disorder comorbid with an anxiety disorder did negatively impact QOL as these individuals reported significantly more functional disability and less life satisfaction than did individuals with anxiety disorders alone or those without a psychiatric diagnosis. These results highlight the negative nature of anxiety disorders and improve clarification on the role of diagnostic comorbidity on QOL among those with an anxiety disorder. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
