Ménière's disease patients exhibit distinct psychopathological profiles, including heightened anxiety, depression, and phobias. Addressing these psychological factors alongside physical symptoms is crucial for effective treatment and managing hearing loss and vertigo.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Psychiatry
  • Medical Psychology

Context:

  • Ménière's disease is a complex inner ear disorder.
  • The psychosomatic etiology of Ménière's disease remains under-explored.
  • Previous research has not extensively focused on the psychological aspects of Ménière's disease.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the psychopathological profile of patients diagnosed with Ménière's disease.
  • To determine if Ménière's disease patients exhibit significant psychological differences compared to a general population.
  • To explore the correlation between psychological distress and disease severity in Ménière's disease.

Summary:

  • Forty-eight patients with Ménière's disease completed psychometric evaluations (SCL 90 for psychological profile, QD 2 A for depressive tendency).

  • Results revealed that Ménière's disease patients present a significantly different psychopathological profile compared to a reference population.
  • Key differences were observed in anxiety levels, depressive tendencies, and phobias.
  • Impact:

    • Findings highlight the practical importance of treating the anxious-depressive and phobic components in Ménière's disease management.
    • A correlation exists between the severity of hearing loss, vertigo attack frequency, and the degree of psychopathological disorders.
    • This study underscores the need for integrated treatment approaches addressing both otological and psychological aspects of Ménière's disease.
