Resumen

Los síntomas de ansiedad y depresión son frecuentes en los pacientes que padecen una enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC), pero son escasamente diagnosticados y hay pocos datos publicados sobre esta asociación. Su prevalencia varía considerablemente según los estudios, pero es probable que sea mayor de la conocida en la actualidad. Sólo un tercio de estos pacientes recibe un tratamiento adecuado. Algunos fármacos, el tratamiento conductual y la atención por un equipo multidisciplinario pueden mejorar el tratamiento de estos transtrornos en estos pacientes. Un buen ejemplo de ello es la rehabilitación respiratoria.

Abstract

Symptoms of anxiety and depression are common in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but are underdiagnosed and data on this association are scarce. The prevalence of anxiety and depression in COPD varies considerably among studies and is probably greater than is currently known. Only a third of these patients receives appropriate treatment. Certain drugs, behavioral therapy and a multidisciplinary approach can improve the management of these patients, a good example being respiratory rehabilitation.
