慢性疾病严重影响患者的生活，导致疼痛，残疾和破坏。共病抑郁症可以加重医学疾病的影响，并可能是痛苦和残疾的独立来源。数据来自第一次全国健康和营养检查调查（NHANES I）的流行病学随访研究（NHEFS）。用于检查抑郁症和共病医学状况相互作用影响健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）的方式。研究结果表明：a）抑郁症的影响与关节炎、糖尿病和高血压的影响相当; B）抑郁症和慢性内科疾病相互作用，放大了内科疾病的影响。这些数据也支持的优点，采用多方面的方法，而不是对待它的一维HRQOL。
Chronic medical conditions drastically affect the lives of those afflicted, leading to pain, disability, and disruption. Comorbid depression can exacerbate the effects of medical illness and may be an independent source of suffering and disability. Data from the Epidemiological Follow-Up Study (NHEFS) of the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I). are used to examine the manner in which depression and comorbid medical conditions interact to affect health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The findings suggest a) that the effects of depression are comparable with those of arthritis, diabetes, and hypertension; and b) that depression and chronic medical illnesses interact to amplify the effects of the medical illness. The data also support the merit, of adopting a multidimensional approach to HRQOL rather than treating it unidimensionally.
