Abstract

It was aimed to investigate how sexual function was affected in subjects with generalized anxiety disorder and which areas were affected when the comorbidity of depression was added. Sixty male subjects who admitted to the Psychiatry Clinics of Gulhane Military Medical Faculty and diagnosed to have generalized anxiety disorder were included in the study. Golombok Rust Invertory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS) and Hamilton anxiety and depression evaluating scales were performed to assess the sexual areas of the subjects and severity of the disease, respectively. Forty one and 19 cases were diagnosed to have generalized anxiety disorder and generalized anxiety disorder with depressive disorder comorbidity, respectively. GRISS total scores were significantly higher in 100% of the group with depressive disorder comorbidity. There were elevations in non-sensuality (78.9%), impotence (73.7%), infrequency and coordination (63.2%) subscales of GRISS in this group. Maximum elevation was found in the premature ejaculation subscale in cases with generalized anxiety disorder without comorbidity. There were significant differences between the two groups with respect to infrequency, non-sensuality, impotence subscales and reverted total scores of GRISS. High rates of sexual dysfunction were detected in cases with generalized anxiety disorder in the period before treatment, and a difference was detected between anxiety and sorrow regarding sexuality.

Özet

Bu çalışmada yaygın anksiyete bozukluğu tanısı konulan hastalarda cinsel işlevin nasıl etkilendiği ve buna depresyon birlikteliği de eklenince etkilenmenin hangi alanda olacağını araştırmak amaçlanmıştır. GATF Psikiyatri Polikliniğine başvuran hastalar içinde yaygın anksiyete bozukluğu tanısı konulan 60 erkek olgu araştırmaya alınmıştır. Olguların cinsel alanlarını değerlendirmek için Golombok Rust Cinsel Doyum Envanteri (GRISS), hastalık şiddetini değerlendirmek için Hamilton anksiyete ve depresyon derecelendirme ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Olgulardan 41 kişi yaygın anksiyete bozukluğu, 19 kişi ise depresif bozukluk komorbiditesi olan yaygın anksiyete bozukluğu tanısı almıştır. Depresif bozukluk komorbiditesi olan grubun %100'ünde GRISS toplam puanı anlamlı olarak yüksek bulunmuştur. Bu grubun GRISS dokunma (%78.9), GRISS sertleşme (%73.7) ve GRISS sıklık ve iletişim (%63.2) alt ölçeklerinde yükselme görülmüştür. Komorbidite olmayan yaygın anksiyete bozukluğunda en fazla erken boşalma alt ölçeğinde yükselme saptanmıştır. GRISS sıklık, dokunma, sertleşme bozukluğu alt ölçekleri ve dönüştürülmüş toplam puan açısından iki grup arasında anlamlı farklılıklar saptanmıştır. Yaygın anksiyete bozukluğu olan hastalarda tedavi öncesi dönemde cinsel işlev bozukluklarının yüksek oranlarda varlığı görülmüş ve kaygı ile elem arasında cinsellik açısından farklılık olduğu belirlenmiştir.
