Depression and Anxiety of the Inpatients with Schizophrenia — Longitudinal Study According to the Level of GAF ㅡ

Forty schizophrenics who had been admitted to Wonkwang University Neuropsychiatric Hospital from August 1990 to February 1991 were rated for depression and anxiety levels three times longitudinally, when their GAF scores reached 30 and below , 31 and over and 40 and below , and 41 and over. At each time, the depression and anxiety levels were assesed by using self rating scales ( SCL-90-R, SDS , and STA I-I) and objective scales (BPRS, HDS , and HAS ). The results were as follows ; 1) For the depression, the schizophrenics showed significantly low depression scores on the self-rating scale (SCL -90-R : DEP ) and all of the objective rating scales (BPRS ; DEP, HDS ) according to their GAF scores reached the above levels(p〈0.01). 2) For the anxiety, the schizophrenics showed significantly low anxiety scores on the selfrating scale(SCL -90-R :ANX) and all of the objective rating scales (BPRS ;ANX ,HAS) according to their GAF scores reached the above levels(p〈0.01). The above results suggest that as the functioning level improved depression and anxiety also improved.
