Methods:
HADS was used in the study. Socidemographic data were collected by means of Socio-demographic data questionnaire.

Patients after spine surgery had worse results in HADS-A and HADS-D in comparison to control group. Men, older, worse-educated, unemployed, reporting more concomitant disease and medicine taking patients were more depressed.
