DENVER, CO — April 17, 2002 — Neurologists tend to under-recognize and under-treat depression and anxiety in their neurology outpatients, according to data presented at the 54th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN).
Dr. William J. Jones, with the Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis, and associates, conducted a study to determine which neurology outpatients were most likely to have depression or anxiety and to examine neurologists' recognition and treatment of these conditions.
The study included 483 consecutive new patients at three hospital-based, university-affiliated, neurology outpatient clinics.
Overall, 33 percent of patients in this study screened positive for depression, and 17 percent screened positive for an anxiety disorder; 78 percent of those with an anxiety disorder were also depressed. Thirty-eight percent screened positive for anxiety and/or depression.
