WORK INTEREST: To assess vulnerability factors of outpatients with fibromyalgia, by the evaluating prevalence of DSM-IV axis I disorders (mental disorders) and axis II disorders (personality disorders).
Methods:
30 outpatients with fibromyalgia were examined consecutively, and were administered the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV.
Results:
The patients were found to have a high prevalence of DSM-IV axis I disorders (63,3% received a diagnosis of depressive and/or anxious disorder), and axis II disorders (46,7% received at least one diagnosis of personality disorder, including obsessive-compulsive personality disorder: 30%, borderline personality disorder: 16,7%, and depressive personality disorder: 16,7%).
Perspectives:
Our results show the importance of psychiatric comorbidities, including personality disorders from outpatients with fibromyalgia. Personality disorders have to be taken into account in the treatment by their impact on doctor-patient relation. Our results suggest the importance of liaison psychiatry in the treatment of those patients.
