Депрессивные состояния являются наиболее частой формой психической патологии у пациентов общемедицинских амбулаторных и стационарных учреждений (5,9-24,9%), в том числе у страдающих сердечно-сосудистыми заболеваниями (ССЗ) [1-4]. В кардиологической практике частота депрессии достигает 15-38% [5-8]. По данным отечественного исследования психических расстройств в территориальной поликлинике и многопрофильной больнице, депрессивные состояния выявляются у 29% больных кардиологического отделения [9]. Среди факторов риска развития депрессии при ССЗ ведущие позиции занимают клинико-динамические харак-теристики соматического страдания или такие события, как острый инфаркт миокарда, аортокоронарное шунтирование, наличие других сопутствующих инвалидизирующих заболеваний, а также различные «кардиальные» типы личности-тип А, тип D [10-25]. С о ц и а л ь н о е и м е д и ц и н с к о е з н а ч е н и е д е п р е с с и и Депрессия входит в тройку заболеваний-лидеров с максимальными показателями дезадаптации, выраженными в количестве скорректированных по дезадаптации лет (Disability Adjusted Life Years, DALYs) [26-28].

According to somatic status all patients were divided into three groups. First group (n=160) – patients with chronic somatic disease resulted in fixed deformity of maxillofacial area. 41,3% of patients had depressive symptoms, 31,3% had anxiety symptoms and 16,3% had hypomania symptoms. Second group (n=127) - patients with acute posttraumatic face tissue injury. 10,7% of patients had symptoms of depression, 20% of patients had symptoms of anxiety and 32,3% of patients had symptoms of hypomania.Third group (n=121) – patients without evident somatic pathology wishing to perform surgical correction of appearance.51,2% of patients had depressive symptoms, 40,5% of patients had anxiety symptoms and 35,7% of patients had hypomania symptoms.Conclusion:Our data suggest that 10-55% of maxillofacial surgeons’ patients have different symptoms of mental disorders (affective, anxiety).
