Abstract

|
|
Background:
@EN Although headache is one of the most common complints in primary care, the relationship between headache and depression and anxiety is controversial. Therefore we carried out a study to determine the relationship between headache and
depression, and
between headache and anxiety.
@ES Methods:
@EN Seventy new patients were selected from the patients who visited our family medicine clinic to receive periodic health examination from March 1 to July 31 1991. We took Zung's s scales.
@ES Results:
@EN There were significant differences in the 11 items of SDS among 20 items between patients and the control group. There were significant differences in the mean scores of SDS and SAS between patients and control groups when compared between
the
males
and females of the groups(p<0.01, p<0.001 respectively). There were significant differences in the total mean scores of the SDS and SAS between patients and the control group(p<0.01, p<0.001 respectively).
@ES Conclusions;
@EN There was a close relationship between headache and anxiety as well as with depression so a screening test was needed to screen depression and anxiety in the patients with headache. Further studies which can overcome for the limitation of
this
study
should be performed.(J Korean Acad Fam Med 1992; 13: 436~441)
