Clinical and Psychological Factors Influencing the Perceived Stress among Patients with Anxiety and Depression in Remission during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has turned into a crisis with serious direct medical influence, and also with enormous indirect socio-psychological consequences. The study, which is part of a larger one, aimed to assess the perceived stress after the first COVID-19 wave in patients with depression and anxiety in remission and healthy controls and to evaluate clinical-psychological factors as predictors for moderate/high Perceived Stress (MH-PSS-10).
