Abstract
The aim of this work is to assess the prevalence and risk factors of depression in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and patients with GERD and hypothyroidism. The survey was conducted in 124 adult patients. The Beck and Spielberger-Khanin scales were used to diagnose depression and anxiety. The prevalence of current depression was 29.4 % in patients with GERD and 60.0 % in patients with GERD and hypothyroidism. In the group of patients with GERD, personal anxiety is more pronounced, whereas in the group of patients with GERD and hypothyroidism, personal anxiety is less pronounced than situational anxiety.
