Comorbid psychiatric conditions of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
1Department of Otolaryngology, King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Riyadh.
Background:
No studies have assessed psychopathology among benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) patients. The General Health Questionnaire allows for distinguishing patients suffering from psychiatric problems from those in good mental health.
Objective:
To assess the psychiatric illness in Saudi patients with BPPV.
Methods:
The study was cross-sectional in nature. Institutional ethics committee approval and individual informed consent from study participants were obtained. Fifty patients with BPPV with unknown psychiatric illness were given the General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) questionnaire to complete.
Results:
Complete data were available for 50 patients. Thirty patients (60%) with BPPV scored above the conventional threshold. Their subgroups were: somatic complaints 28%, anxiety and insomnia 28%, social dysfunction 34%, and severe depression 10%.
Conclusions:
Greater attention needs to be paid to BPPV patients. Vulnerable female patients may have high levels of psychiatric symptomatology that may benefit from assessment and intervention.
