Abstract
The role of psychiatric symptomatic conduct of patients with FD has not been clearly shaped. In this study the role of psychiatric symptoms was evaluated in those patients. One hundred subjects [50 patients with FD (29 women, 21 men)], and [50 healthy individuals (27 women, 23 men)] in Al-Hussain teaching hospital in Samawa city were evaluated. The two groups were almost similar in regard to major demographic variables. Psychiatric symptoms were measured by “SCL-90-R” questionnaire. FD patients had worse psychiatric difficulties than healthy subjects. patients with FD reported more mean scores on psychiatric symptoms than the healthy subjects (somatization 1.87 ±0.74.vs 0.95 ± 0.50),(OCD1.31±0.62 vs 0.86± 0.55),(interpersonal sensitivity 1.08 ± 0.70 vs 0.76 ± 0.54),(depression 1.52±0.86 vs 0.91± 0.50),(anxiety1.53 ±0.59 vs 0.75 ±0.48), (hostility 1.41± 0.72 vs 0.69 ±0.56),(phobic anxiety 0.92 ± 0.73 vs 0.58 ±0.75), (paranoid ideation 1.19 ±0.78 vs 0.74 ± 0.56) , (psychoticism 0.76± 0.69 vs 0.40±0.45) and the total score of mental symptoms.1.29±0.52 vs0.74 ±0.37). All differences were very significant in statistical view with the exception of four measures, where the differences were statistically significant but to a lesser degree، namely the measures of interpersonal sensitivity, paranoid ideation, psychoticism. In conclusion, the results show that FD patients experienced more psychological symptoms than healthy subjects, so both physicians and psychiatrists should be aware about this coexistence when they manage such cases.
