Popis: The comorbidity of psychiatric disorders with chronic health conditions has emerged as a topic of considerable clinical and political interest, in part owing to the evidence that anxiety disorders are associated with depression. Nevertheless, the implications for health-related quality of life that result from anxiety disorders, which are comorbid to chronic medical or psychiatric illness, are not well understood, especially in primary care samples. There are few clinical studies of depression and panic disorder comorbidity in occupational health. From the epidemiological point of view, major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder frequently co-occur with panic disorder, with estimates ranging 20% to 50% for each disorder. In this report, we discuss the association between depression, panic disorder and hypertension in a bus driver.
