Abstract:
This case study describes a 9-year-old-girl presenting with symptoms of anxiety and depression who was found to have mitral valve prolapse syndrome. The relationship of mitral valve prolapse and anxiety and depression has been studied and a review of the literature is presented. The family history of heart and psychiatric problems is explored. The importance of the bio-psycho-social approach is stressed as well as the suggestion that mitral valve prolapse be included as part of the differential diagnosis for anxiety.
