Abstract
Objective
We aim to evaluate the prevalence of depression in disorders including multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's disease (PD), migraine, and stroke. Also, we detect risk factors for depression occurrence within each disorder. Moreover, we compare the risk factors in these four common neurologic disorders. In advance, we assess the three surveys in order to better comprehend their distinctions.
Background
Depression is a globally prevalent Psychologic disorder and common co-morbidity in neurological diseases. However, it is mostly underdiagnosed in chronic patients and causes numerous adverse effects.
Methods
We used the database of neurology specialty clinics in a hospital in Tehran, the largest city of Iran. Five hundred nineteen patients, including 105 PD patients, 101 patients with stroke, 213 cases with MS, and 100 Migraine patients, were assessed. They were asked about their chief characteristics and disease-specific variables that may cause depression. Moreover, depression criteria were measured with three internationally used scales to study their variances.
Results
Overall, the prevalence of depression in PD, stroke, MS, and migraine, according to the BDI-II scale, were 43.8%, 38.6%, 45.1%, 37.6%, and according to HDRS scale, were 56.2%, 51.5%, 39.4%, and 43.6% respectively. Finally, according to DSM-XC the depression prevalence were 64.8%, 34.7%, 36.2%, and 67.3% respectively. Possible risk factors of depression were lower educational level, disease severity, socioeconomic level, marital or employment status, female gender, higher age, and consumption of some specific drugs.
Conclusion
Depression is a widespread disorder in chronic neurologic conditions. Our data suggests the odds of depression in neurologic disorders depend on the characteristics of the patient and the features of the disease.
