The present study investigated the existence of differences between patients with anguish and patients without anguish in terms of symptomatology and comorbidities, and whether patients diagnosed with depression and patients with an anxiety disorder have more anguish than patients who are diagnosed with depression do not have a diagnosis of depression and anxiety disorders.
