TI  - [Correlation between depressive and anxiety symptoms, distress and functioning].
PG  - 269-77
AB  - AIM: The aim of the study was to define the correlation between 
      anxiety/depressive symptoms, distress and functioning. METHOD: The research is 
      based on the analysis of 104 persons (65 women, 39 men), who were patients of 
      psychiatrists (42 persons), or general physician attenders (62 persons) 
      complaining of anxiety or depressive symptoms. Distress was estimated with the 
      General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-30), psychopathological symptoms and diagnoses 
      were evaluated with the Present State Examination (PSE) and the level of 
      functioning with Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF). The intensity of ICD-10 
      symptoms was calculated for: generalized anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, social 
      phobia, panic disorder, depressive disorder and dysthymia. RESULTS: The lowest 
      score of distress was found in the group with sub-clinical, sole anxiety or 
      depressive symptoms. An intermediate level was present in the group with anxiety 
      and mixed anxiety-depressive disorders, and the highest in the group with 
      depression. The functioning scores were in an inverse order. CONCLUSIONS: The 
      differences in scores of distress and functioning between groups of patients with 
      anxiety disorders, mixed anxiety-depressive disorders and depression are 
      dependent on the intensity of depressive symptoms and are independent of the 
      intensity of anxiety symptoms.
