“…A number of studies have suggested that SSRIs may also have a beneficial effect on the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disturbances experienced by patients with COPD. These medications may help improve overall well-being, reduce anxiety and depression, and enhance quality of life in COPD patients [18][19][20].…”

“…Previous research has shown that the correct assessment of the symptoms of depression and lowered quality of life leads to an easier choice of priorities in planning therapeutic procedures and faster, enhanced communication between doctors and patients, as well as an easier diagnosis of a patient's potential problems. It is also the most accurate way to find out how realistic a patient's expectations of treatment are, the measures to monitor changes during treatment, and the quality of care provided to a patient, as well as the entire treatment outcome [20,21].…”

The relationship between depression and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is not fully understood. The comorbidity rate ranges from 18 to 84%, and depression is closely related to chronic inflammation, which affects how patients and the people around them perceive their condition. This study aims to examine the relationship between the psychophysical and social functioning of COPD patients who have been diagnosed with depression and the therapeutic benefits of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). This prospective study enrolled primary care patients diagnosed with COPD and depression. The entire period of this research was 3 years. The research was conducted at the Primary Health Center, Kragujevac, Serbia, in 87 patients for 8 weeks. The Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D) and Questionnaire for Quality of Life and Life Satisfaction Short Form (Q-LES-Q-SF) were used for psychiatric assessment. A positive correlation was found between the psychophysical and social functioning of the participants after 8 weeks of treatment with SSRIs. Based on the value of the phi correlation coefficient (phi = 0.5) obtained using the χ2 test, a large influence was observed in terms of life satisfaction and physical health (p < 0.05). In terms of physical functioning by gender, based on the value of the Pearson’s coefficient (r) obtained with the χ2 test, it was shown that physical functioning was superior in the female respondents (p < 0.05). Treatment was found to improve depression in COPD after 8 weeks of therapy.

Introduction: Stroke is one of the leading causes of adult disability and certainly the most significant single cause of neurological disability. Aim: To examine the quality of life of patients after a stroke by analyzing the physical and mental condition, as well as social skills from the aspect of individual, family, professional and life on the broader community. Methodology: The research is designed as a prospective study. The sample consisted of 20 patients with stroke (experimental group) and patients without stroke (control group), treated at the Clinic for Medical Rehabilitation of the Clinical Center of Vojvodina. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), the Modified Bartel Index, the Rankin Scale (mRS) and the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) were used to assess neurological status, functional and cognitive status. In addition, the SF-36 Short Form Health Questionnaire and the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) were used to assess the quality of life. Results: In all domains of SIS and the overall score, statistically significant differences were found between patients with stroke, compared to those without. The most significant differences were found in handicap, arm, and daily activities. The minor differences, but still statistically significant, were found in communication, memory, and emotions. Conclusion: Patients' quality of life after a stroke is significantly impaired, and physical functioning is most affected.
