Main Methods:

  • Self-esteem was assessed in 141 psychiatric outpatients.
  • Patients represented a range of diagnoses based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition-Revised (DSM-III-R).
  • Statistical analysis compared self-esteem scores across diagnostic groups.

Main Results:

  • Significant variations in self-esteem were found among different diagnostic groups.
  • Patients diagnosed with depression exhibited lower self-esteem compared to most other groups, excluding those with personality disorders.
  • Individuals with anxiety disorders reported the highest self-esteem levels among the patient groups studied.

Conclusions:
