Under-recognition and under-treatment of DSM-IV classified mood and anxiety disorders among disability claimants

A dynamic view of comorbid depression and generalized anxiety disorder symptom change in chronic heart failure: the discrete effects of cognitive behavioral therapy, exercise, and psychotropic medication

“…As such this study may not reflect comorbidity rates in other earlier stage CVD populations [33]. Other potential sampling limitations include that depression and anxiety disorders are frequently under-recognized [67]. For example, as many as 27% of cardiac patients are not assessed by routine screening protocols [68] and severely depressed patients are less likely to prefer counselling than anti-depressants [48].…”

Prevalence and Characteristics of Work Anxiety in Medical Rehabilitation Patients: A Cross-Sectional Observation Study

“…The rate of patients with clinically relevant work-anxiety diagnosis (according to WAI) of 20-27% from the overall sample shows that there is a relevant need for vocational-oriented diagnostic and therapeutic action in somato-medical rehabilitation. This adds to the literature which pointed out to the phenomenon of mental health comorbidities in somatic patients [17], but did until now not focus on work-anxieties in particular. However, work-anxiety, especially workplace phobia, is more narrowly related with socio-medical work-problems than the common non-work-related anxiety disorders [1].…”

Mental health problem or workplace problem or something else: what contributes to work perception?

“…Intercorrelations between the predictors (1-8) are from r = .002 to r = -.722, with 22 out of 28 cases r < .400. Inter-correlations between JATS dimensions (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14) are ranging from r = .179 to r = .555, with 7 out of 15 being <.400 (Table 2). There is no multicollinearity problem between the predictors (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8), or between predictors and dependent variables (JATS dimensions).…”

“…The latter may be done within the frame of mental hazard analysis [4][5][6], or within prevention and inclusion [47][48][49], or -in cases sick leave is already ongoing -within work-reintegration-interventions [49]. The necessity for action for persons with under-recognized anxiety problems has been outlined [12].…”
