Adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients face unique medical and social challenges that may contribute to psychological difficulties. The goals of this study were to identify predictors of symptoms of depression and anxiety and evaluate the prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders among North American ACHD patients. In this cross-sectional study, consecutive patients were recruited from two ACHD outpatient clinics. All patients completed self-report psychosocial measures and a subset was randomly selected to participate in structured clinical interviews. Linear regression models were used to predict symptoms of depression and anxiety. A total of 280 patients (mean age=32 years; 52% female) completed self-report measures. Sixty percent had defects of moderate complexity and 31% had defects of great complexity. Significant predictors of depressive symptoms were loneliness (p<0.001), perceived health status (p<0.001), and fear of negative evaluation (p=0.02). Predictors of anxiety symptoms were loneliness (p<0.001) and fear of negative evaluation (p<0.001). Disease severity and functional class did not predict mood or anxiety symptoms. Fifty percent of interviewed patients (29/58) met diagnostic criteria for at least one lif...Continue Reading
