TI  - [Dissociative symptoms in patients with mood and anxiety disorders].
PG  - 234-43
AB  - AIM: The objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of dissociative 
      symptoms in outpatients affected by mood or anxiety disorder and their potential 
      implication in general psychopathology and treatment response. METHODS: The 
      sample was recruited at Italian and Spanish psychiatric outpatient services. The 
      sample consisted in 40 (13 Male, 27 Female) outpatients, 22 Italians (55%) and 18 
      Spanish (45%). Inclusion criteria were the Axis I diagnosis of any DSM-IV-TR mood 
      or anxiety disorder and Clinical Global Impression/Global Severity Index (CGI) 
      baseline scores > or = 3 and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) and 
      Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A) baseline scores > or = 18. General 
      psychopathology, dissociative symptoms and personality traits were respectively 
      assessed by the self-report symptom inventory Symptom Check-List 90 (SCL-90), the 
      Dissociative Experience Scale (DES) and the Cloninger's Temperament and Character 
      Inventory (TCI). RESULTS: Dissociative symptoms emerged as relatively frequent in 
      mood and anxiety disorders. Globally, depression symptoms seem to correlate 
      positively with the dissociative experiences and the severity of global 
      psychopathology. Dissociative symptoms seem to correlate positively with some 
      personality traits and the severity of global psychopathology and should receive 
      further investigation in clinical practice, as might be a predictor of poor 
      response to conventional drug treatment.
