Variáveis influenciadoras do estado de depressão e/ou ansiedade: uma revisão sistemática

Abstract

Mental disorders, specifically anxiety and depression, are part of a group of diseases faced in the public health. The number of global cases for both exceeds 200 million. They can be defined as changes that compromise the neural mechanism, the humoral, and behavioral status. It comes from multifactorial etiological causes, which can be biological, social, genetic, environmental, and others. Treatment is based on the use of drugs (antidepressants and anxiolytic) and psychotherapies, for both disorders. Untreated or unsuccessfully treated cases can trigger attempts and even lead to suicide. In this systematic review, the most diverse potential factors associated directly or indirectly with depression and/or anxiety were gathered. Such as the relationship between the quality of the food consumed, the practice of physical activity, the genetic and hormonal contexts, in addition to environmental, social, and interpersonal issues. Although several factors contribute negatively, they can assist in the success of a treatment that prioritizes quality of life and the remission of depressive and/or anxious conditions. For this treatment to be carried out by an interdisciplinary team, which can assess all possible factors associated with depression and/or anxiety disorders.
