Abstract

A higher prevalence of anxiety and depressive disorders in relation to chronic medical illnesses has been observed and poses unique challenges in management of these conditions. Depression is the most common disorder, accounting for approximately 50% of psychopathology in the medically ill, with the remainder made up of various anxiety disorders and mixed sub-syndromal symptoms of anxiety and depression. Many underlying etiologies have been suggested for the same, including biological as well as behavioral factors that influence the course and prognosis of either of the conditions. The coexistence of anxiety and depressive disorders with a medical condition may have divergent clinical implications on the treatment-seeking patterns, identification, course, management strategies, and thus, the outcome of the illnesses. In this chapter, we discuss the physical morbidities of cerebrovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, thyroid disorders, cancer, and coronary artery disease co-occurring with anxiety and depressive disorders and the reciprocal relationship between these comorbidities, particularly in women. We also briefly discuss regarding the nosological issues and various pharmacological and psychological methods utilized in treatment of these conditions, with interactions pertaining to presence of comorbidities.
