Anxiety (ANX) and depression (DEP) are common with dizziness, vertigo, or imbalance. It is unclear whether self-reported anxiety or depression depends on perceived physical function for individuals participating in vestibular rehabilitation (VPT). We hypothesized that individuals with worse physical function would be more likely to report abnormally high anxiety and/or depression levels.Participants170 individuals referred for vestibular rehabilitation (113 female, 57 males, and age 63.7 (21)).MethodsA retrospective chart review extracted age, Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores (ANX, DEP, physical function) and primary diagnoses [benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (<i>n</i> = 42), unilateral vestibular hypofunction (<i>n</i> = 39), bilateral vestibular hypofunction (<i>n</i> = 14), concussion/head injury (<i>n</i> = 7), dizziness/vertigo (<i>n</i> = 37), and imbalance (<i>n</i> = 31)].
