Anxiety and depressive disorders

Abstract

Anxious depression is one of the key problems of modern clinical psychiatry in pathogenetic and methodological aspects. Its scale and relevance are evidenced by the fact that the very phenomenon of anxious depression goes beyond the status of a medical problem, affecting the deepest aspects of human existence associated with the stress overload of modern life and other negative social trends, which leads to an exponential increase in the frequency of depressions (including anxiety disorders).
